Meanwhile, “Rainbow Space” (aka
Shanghai Gender/Sexuality Culture Activity Center, “the Center” for short)
reports that despite a dynamic period of activity, they lost their space in Shanghai:

“Since its opening in
last November, the Center has played a very active role within and out the
LGBTQ community in Shanghai. We have promoted connections and cooperation among
various local gender/sexuality organizations and communications and visibility
of gender/sexuality diversity. Over the years, in Shanghai there are many LGBTQ
grass-root organizations of all types, but we did not have an institution that
has the function as a center. The Center came into being in such a situation,
and has contributed a lot for the integration of resources both within and
outside the community and for the public influence.

“However, the current
“Rainbow Space” is facing a “Space Crisis”. The Center had
to leave its then venue at 696 Wei Hai Road, because of the building was to be
demolished in January 2011. Also, because of funding shortages, It’s a great
pity we are temporarily not able to settle in new venue and office. The Center
has, from the establishment, made various efforts to raise funds, and we are
also actively looking for more resources. Therefore, we hope that those who
have visited or concerned The Center can provide us with more information and
help, and to maintain the long-term existence of Shanghai Gender/Sexuality
Center.

“At the same time, the
Center is still carrying out a variety of gender/sexuality themed cultural
activities in Shanghai, and continues to advocate our purpose and missions. In
March 2011, we organized a “100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day
Celebration: cooperated production of The Vagina Monologues“. The
performance was staged in a coffee shop and caused much lively discussion and
debate. Recently, cooperation with coffee shops and other and public venues
will be the major way for us to carry on our activities.

Of course, we sincerely
wish to have our own space as soon as possible, and thus to form a sense of
belonging, familiarity and identity with all participants of our activities. In
this way, we can better improve and communications and visibility of
gender/sexuality diversity.”
