Living Queer Monthly - a love letter to Queer and Trans lives returns on Monday, February 9. You’re invited to our monthly gathering: a warm, rebellious space where Queer and Trans creativity and possibility meet.
Every month, we come together as Trans and/or Queer folx, families, and friends. We begin with pizza and conversation, then we open the stage. What our revelers share is different every time. Poetry and spoken word, music, work-in-progress performances, dance, burlesque, storytelling, visual art, experiments, fragments, moments of truth, and unexpected sparks of joy and sometimes deep seeded emotions. All forms of expression are welcome!
Seasoned artists share a stage alongside up-and-coming talent and first-timers. No experience is required! What matters most is you - your voice, and the tactics, humor, heartbreak, hope, and imagination that shape who you are today or are becoming for tomorrow and beyond.
This gathering exists so we can listen, create, connect, and reflect on what it means to be Queer and Trans in this moment in time, and how we each are building better ways of living and shaping the world we deserve. If you are interested in sharing something for future dates, let us know. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
