There are the sketches of an anteater and a frog (line art).

We want to encourage and invite everyone who identifies as aromantic, grey(a)romantic, aliquaromantic or anywhere else on the aromantic spectrum to participate in the Aromantic Spectrum Visibility Day. This may include joining events, sharing infos and sharepics, advertising organisations and contact points or simply celebrating by yourself or with friends.
We’ll be hosting some events ourselves. If you want to do something, like hosting a local event, one on a platform we’re not (currently) on, feel free to contact us so we can share it.
We would love for the ASVD to have reach beyond German-speaking countries and become a worldwide day for visibility, awareness and advocacy for the aromantic spectrum. That’s also why we’re looking for people to join our team, for englishspeaking events, events in other languages, to help us translate materials into various languages and to connect with other countries.
