North meeting October
5 Queer students and
LGBTTIQ friends and allies are invited to attend the second meeting of
Queerical Up North on Thursday October 5, from 4 – 5:30 p.m. in room H110. Querical Up North works to unite students, as well as community members, to
proactively examine society and intersections of race, class, gender, sexual
orientation, ablebodiness, geographical location, language and culture
through the lens of sexuality. We explore artistic mediums such as film,
television, children and adolescent literature, creative writing, poetry,
collage, and painting. We offer community-based educational workshops,
seminars, and presentations to promote social justice and increased
understanding of heterosexism and homophobia. The theme for this meeting is Using Collage to Understand Sexuality, Race,
Class, Gender and Disability. We will watch clips from The Poster Child
Shoots Back by Esther Ignagni (2004). Then, this week’s group facilitator
will introduce us to collage as one way to better examine not only sexual
orientation but other interlinked parts of identity such as race, class,
gender, and disability in particular. Bring: catalogue, glue stick, scissors if possible, but we should have
enough ; BRING A FRIEND!
