Gayme Night is our cozy board games hangout for the queer community and friends. Expect classics, quick party games, and the occasional chaotic round where someone swears they “definitely read the rules” (they did not).

Come with your besties or show up solo — we’ll help people find a table and get a game going. The goal is simple: relaxed social time, a bit of playful competition, and a space that feels easy to enter.

How it works

Drop in any time between 18:00 and 21:00

Choose a game from the selection (or bring your own)

Join an open table or ask us to match you with a group

Play, snack, sip, repeat

Who it’s forQueer folks and friends/allies who can respect the space. You don’t need board game skills—just basic kindness and the ability to lose gracefully 😌

Free entry.

Roots Workshop: Memory, Migration, Nature & Belonging
2026-07-02 17:30 - 18:30, 2026-07-16 17:30 - 18:30
“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognised need of the human soul.” – Simone Weil

What do the plants of your childhood carry? What grows in the soil of the place you came from, and what do you take with you when you leave?

Roots is a workshop about the living connections between memory, identity, and the natural world. It begins with a simple question: which plant, flower, tree, or natural element has stayed with you across borders, languages, cities, or seasons of your life?

Grounded in queer ecology and feminist theory, this workshop approaches nature not as a backdrop but as a site of knowledge, a space that resists fixed categories and holds space for diverse ways of existing, adapting, and belonging. Drawing from the work of writers Sania Shah and Jessica J. Lee, and from examples of queerness in plant and flower life, we will reflect together on the places we come from, the places we inhabit now, and the traces we carry between them.

Migration takes many forms. Across countries and continents. Across languages. Across social worlds, families, and selves. Wherever you have moved from and toward, you bring something with you, often in ways you haven’t yet found words for. This workshop creates space to find them.

What we’ll do:

Through storytelling, group discussion, drawing, and speculative making, participants will:

Identify a transformational plant or natural element of personal significance

Reflect on their own relationships to place, movement, and memory

Explore themes of anti-racism, collective storytelling, and the right to exist

Draw their chosen plant onto shrink plastic paper

Bake their drawing into a small durable object, a pendant, keychain, pin, magnet, or personal talisman, something they can carry with them

The final object is more than a craft. It is a way of saying: I came from somewhere. I carry it with me. I am here.

No prior knowledge, experience, or materials required. All drawing materials are provided.

Workshop facilitated by Nazgol Sobhani (she/her) This workshop has been tested and developed through Mary Maggic’s Workshopology course. More of Nazgol’s work at nazok.art

Duration: 60–90 minutes

DAY DJ: widdows95
2026-07-03 16:00 - 18:00
Day DJ is a new free weekly series at Villa Vida. Each Friday, local DJs can take over the space and share their sound in a daytime setting. The focus is on new talent, experimentation, and community. This is a place to build sets, try ideas, and connect through music.

The format is open and relaxed. You can come to listen, work, meet people, or stay for the full set. The aim is to create a consistent platform where DJs grow their practice and support each other.

widdows95

widdows95 blends progressive house, hard house, trance, breakbeat, and UK garage into high-energy sets that move effortlessly between driving rhythms, euphoric melodies, and bass-heavy grooves. Expect a dynamic journey that shifts from deep progressive builds to fast-paced club sounds, keeping the dancefloor moving from start to finish.

DJs have played a central role in queer culture. In spaces where queer people were excluded, DJs created environments where identity and expression could exist. Through sound, they shaped rooms, built connections, and guided shared experiences.

Many of the sounds and practices that define nightlife today grew out of queer spaces. House, disco, and club culture were shaped by queer communities, especially Black and Latinx scenes. Day DJ continues this history by creating space for new voices and keeping this culture active.

We invite local DJs to sign up and play. This is not a paid gig. It is a platform to gain experience, be heard, and be part of a weekly series at Villa Vida. If you want to play, reach out and tell us about your sound.

Book Presentation | ‘Where Nomads Dare to Dream’ by Ildar Daminov
2026-07-04 14:00 - 16:00
We are excited to host another book reading afternoon with a presentation by Ildar Daminov, author of ‘Where Nomads Dare to Dream’.

“A love story told across borders, a queer life lived between two worlds, a fateful summer that shatters everything.”

Follow Tim, a young gay man from a small Central Asian town, as his studies bring him to the streets of Vienna, where he discovers new friendships, new love, and a world far bigger than he imagined. But as secrets unravel and heartbreak hits home, Tim learns that freedom isn’t easy, and love isn’t always safe. From a tender friendship to betrayal, from political chaos to quiet hope, ‘Where Nomads Dare to Dream’ is a moving, fearless coming-of-age story about grief, resilience, and the courage it takes to live your truth.

Saturday – July 4, 2026 14:00 Villa Vida – Linke Wienzeile 102, 1060 Wien

Join us for a reading, a conversation with the author, and good company. The event will be followed by. This event is open to all. Whether you’re a long-time reader or simply curious, come discover a voice that bridges Central Asia and Europe with honesty and heart.

Ildar Daminov is a Tatar Kazakhstani writer, researcher, and modern-day nomad based in Vienna. Apart from his academic career, he writes in English about the places where queerness and migration meet.

A July offering for queer, trans, and questioning souls, witches, soft rebels, hot mess mystics, and beautifully complicated humans.

Every Tuesday from 3–6 PM, I’ll be offering mini tarot readings at Villa Vida as a space to pause, breathe, and maybe ask the universe what the …

These readings are not about fixed futures or spiritual certainty.If anything, they are about meaningful chaos with good lighting.

The cards might affirm what you already know. They might gently expose what you’ve been avoiding. Or they might just say: yes, that situationship is still emotionally unavailable.

We respect all outcomes.

Come as you are: in transition (spiritual, gender, or just life-admin chaos), in heartbreak, in “what even is my life right now”, in joy, in curiosity, or in need of a break from thinking about emails

Bring a question, or don’t. We can absolutely let the cards roast you on your behalf.

Each reading is a one-card or small spread intuitive session, kept short, accessible, and intentionally not overwhelming (because we are already overwhelmed enough, thank you).

Pricing (mini chaos-friendly sessions): €5 ~ 5 minutes (1 card: quick existential update) €10 ~ 10 minutes (2 cards: mild emotional accountability) €15 ~ 15 minutes (3 cards: full spiritual group chat intervention)

Every Tuesday in July, 3–6 PMFor queer and trans community, and anyone currently being perceived by life too intensely.

Lavender Lounge - Queer Arts & Crafts Social
2026-07-08 16:00 - 18:00
Why “Lavender”?

Lavender has a long and powerful history in queer culture. Before rainbow flags existed, the color quietly symbolized queer identity, solidarity, and resistance. It showed up in the fashion of queer circles in the 1940s and 50s, became a coded sign of recognition, and later transformed into a symbol of strength during the “Lavender Scare,” when queer people were targeted and fired from U.S. government jobs.

Today, lavender stands for resilience, creativity, and community care. Lavender Lounge honors that legacy by offering a warm, creative space for queer expression — whether you’re a seasoned artist or just experimenting.

Every Second Wednesday · 16:00–18:00 · Free Entry · Villa Vida Café

Lavender Lounge is Villa Vida’s cozy, community-centered queer arts-and-crafts hangout — a free creative space for anyone who wants to make art, relax, and connect with other queer people in Vienna.Every second Wednesday, you can bring your own supplies, settle into a calm corner, and work on whatever brings you joy: painting, knitting, sketching, journaling, crochet, collage, or any DIY craft you love. No experience needed, no pressure, no expectations.

This is a soft, introvert-friendly space where newcomers and regulars mix easily. If you’re looking for a low-stress queer social event, this is it.

DAY DJ: DJ Von Habicht
2026-07-10 16:00 - 18:00
Participate as a DAY DJ

https://villavida.at/portfolio-item/day-dj

Day DJ is a weekly series at Villa Vida Café where local DJs take over the space and share their sound in a daytime setting. The series focuses on new talent, experimentation, and community. It creates a low-pressure environment where DJs can develop ideas, shape their sound, and connect with people through music.

The format is intentionally relaxed and accessible. Visitors are welcome to come by to listen, work, meet friends, have coffee, or stay for the entire set. Day DJ aims to create an ongoing platform where local DJs can grow their practice while contributing to Vienna’s queer and underground music culture.

DJ Von Habicht

DJ Von Habicht’s style and message are being shaped by the impressions of the queer and underground world, as well as by the search for freedom in the deepest waves of electronic music.Through a psychedelic journey with an immersive and groovy selection of techno, trance, and tech house elements, a message emerges: the search for liberation is inevitable and there is always a storytelling behind every piece of art.

DJs have always played an important role in queer culture. In spaces where queer people were excluded or unsafe, DJs helped create environments where identity, expression, connection, and experimentation could exist. Many of the foundations of modern nightlife — including house, disco, and club culture — emerged from queer communities, especially Black and Latinx scenes.

Day DJ continues this tradition by offering space for emerging artists, community exchange, and alternative forms of gathering outside of traditional nightlife hours.

Free entry. No reservation needed.
