We
are:Jorgelina De Simone (jor@brandongayday.com.ar) Brandon is a Group of people in movement, with members who come in and out to visit us and characters who come more frequent than others. We are a large group of friends. Brandon community. Our plan consists on doing things to generate ideas, and ways of rethinking the future in Buenos Aires. Brandon ¨vanguard¨ (oh!). Names and reputations are sustained by actions, therefore let´s talk about what we do here at Brandon: Parties, film screenings, GLBTQ Parades, we provide a place for queer people to network and form relationship which go beyond the parties, we invite young artists and warm people, and yes we sometimes matchmake!, we take photographs, shoot films, share afternoons and evenings.What started out as a group of four friends sporadically organizing GLBTQ nomade parties at several venues, continued with film screenings, literature readings, until it grew to a size of 8000 people, who to this day visit and are part of Casa Brandon. Brandon is an alternative cultural space where filmmakers, several visual artists, poets, dramaturgs, designers, digital artists, musicians, professionals and art/culture students meet to develop and expand ourselves. In the first place, we share the bond of being queer, but most importantly we meet to share our interests and those other identities that make us: artistic exploration, intellectual projects, aesthetic tastes and political activism. Brandon is a Cultural Club and its main center is Casa Brandon. We believe that the meaning of club has to do with an idea of belonging, of feeling that a place is your own. From the creation of Casa Brandon, the idea of club has grown. The club offers different activities for its members, parties, films, poetry and art. Our
