Stories of Queer Diaspora

Join us in celebrating how Queer im/migrant, undocumented, and 1st generation folks unapologetically navigate their bodies, gender, culture, sexuality, and history through a night of intergenerational performance art, music, mixed media, and spoken word!

In partnership with Bay Area community organizations such as LYRIC, The SF LGBT Community Center, RAW Talent, Streetside Stories, and The Alliance of South Asians Taking Action (ASATA), we have also invited 10 local LGBTQQ youth of color to take part in a paid 8-week writing workshop series leading up to this final showcase. The workshop series, as facilitated by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, will take place once a week from AprilJune in order to cultivate a welcoming space for local im/migrant and 1st generation youth to write, reclaim, and proudly articulate their experiences. For more information on how to support this writing workshop series please contact Erika at callequmbia(at)gmail.com.
