“The Queer Craft Market is the sparkly, glitter-covered dream Oslo didn’t know it was missing! It was pure magic being surrounded by wildly talented queer creators, all showing off their fabulous, funky, and feel-good creations. Think queer knick-knacks galore — from the adorable to the downright outrageous — all made with love, pride, and a sprinkle of campy genius. It wasn’t just a market, it was a hangout, a queer wonderland where creativity ran wild and community vibes were strong.” (↗︎ Newt Petride (CYP/NOR) / )
“To be part of Queer Craft Market was a great experience! I made friends there and gained new customers. Best of all is the love inside of the community. A safe place where we can all meet, talk and spred love. Really looking forward to next time. <3 / Lina Maria” ()
“The market felt like being part of a community, with lots of creative people. The open support for Palestine makes participating more meaningful.” ()
