Yesterday we had a lovely book- and baksale Project Madrigal 🔜 BearPride Brussels (BE)!

We met a lot of new people, saw a lot of familiar faces and had a great sale!

Because of you all we sold more than 200 cookies and cupcakes and sold some great books. This money will be used to pay rent and provide the library of new material in the future.

We are open every friday from 18h till 20h.

But for now, Blahaj needs a rest 😊

On Sunday February 1st, Project Madrigal will be attending the screening of Pillion at PinX Film Festival in , together with Puppy Belgium 2026 .ginko 🐾

Pillion is not just a film:
it’s a powerful, unapologetic exploration of fe**sh, intimacy, vulnerability & chosen family within the q***r community.
Stories like these are still far too often misunderstood, erased, or reduced to stereotypes (Yes, we see you 'Cruising').
Pillion dares to do the opposite: it humanises fe**sh, shows its emotional depth & places it firmly within the broader q***r experience.

That is exactly why this film matters.
Why it deserves to be seen, discussed & celebrated.

Pillion is also nominated for the X Awards at in the category 'Fe**sh Film of the Year'! A well-deserved recognition for a film that challenges stigma & opens space for representation.

Join us at PinX, support q***r cinema & experience a story that reminds us that our desires, identities, & communities are worthy of being on screen.
