Naarak is dedicated to cultivating a safe, affirming space where the queer API community can connect, celebrate, and fully be themselves. Allies are welcome — we simply ask that everyone enters with respect for the culture, the intention of the space, and the people within it.

To protect the energy and safety of our community, Naarak maintains a zero-tolerance policy for harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behavior. Guests who do not uphold these values may be denied entry or removed from the event without refund.
