About this Event
This unique community education program looks at culture and identity through an LGBTQ+ lens.
We have gathered together an eclectic mix of Scholars and Artists to bring to us Big Bold Ideas about who we are and who we can be.
The Gay Project is delighted to bring these ideas to a wide community based audience.
There will be 12 sessions, each covering a different topic and hosted like a conversation, via Zoom. Each session will have time for questions from the attendees via chat box, attendees' video and mic will be turned off by the host for the duration. In each session there will be a 'Break for Art'. This is a little festival within a festival, consisting of 12 mini performances by Queer Artists, followed by a chat with the artist. Participants can ask questions of our Scholars and Artists in the chat. and there is plenty of time if we need it.
Each session will be Live Captioned (subtitled) and a transcript will be available after the event. Each session will be recorded and these videos will be made available online after the sessions.
