Alas Migrantes, as part of the Haus of Laur, was born out of the urgent need to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ migrants within and beyond the ballroom scene. In the face of constant political attacks, we believe that creating spaces of safety, access, and collective sanctuary is essential. Our work introduces participants to the ballroom scene, emphasizing the significance of performance art, particularly in runway and performance categories. As a collective, we prioritize bridging language barriers within our queer migrant communities and aim to nurture creativity, authenticity, and self-love.
