About Us

Casa Kuà is self-organised by trans* and non binary BIPoCs to make health more accessible to other trans*, inter*, non binary and queer people,  and especially for those affected by racism. The aim of Casa Kuà is to bring traditional and conventional medical treatments together. We also want to bring communities together, centring the needs and wishes of BIPoC (Black, Indigenous & People of Colour) trans* people, because for us, communities and health are inseparable. The health care system in Germany is designed according to white and cis-male norms, and this goes hand in hand with sexist, racist, classist, ableist and body-negative discrimination. For this reason, many inter*-, a-binary, trans* people, women, disabled and fat people fall out of the regular health system and suffer from health-impairing conditions, or have to resign themselves to poor quality health care. We see health as holistic and not only as the treatment of symptoms, because ill health can be caused by societal conditions, intersectional discrimination, and also loneliness and isolation. For this reason we built a space that is both an alternative health structure and a community centre.
