Pflag St. John’s Chapter and ACNL are teaming up to create an 2SLGBTQAI+ living histories project in partnership with The Rooms and Eastern Edge Gallery. 2SLGBTQAI+ history in Newfoundland and Labrador is sparsely found in archives, libraries, and online – this initiative aims to change that by bringing everyone together as a community and document the stories and share history and space.
What? A storytelling meet-up to talk about the collective experience of being an 2SLGBTQAI+ person in Newfoundland and Labrador .
Where? The Rooms in the Theatre
When? Friday July 19th, 6-8PM
Facebook Event: https://www.facebook.com/events/1141338119392213/
This will be a moderated dialogue between community members with the audio and video recordings being used as part of a mini-documentary that the organizations involved will be creating with the purpose of archiving stories. Once the mini-documentary is completed, a screening will be hosted at The Rooms at a later date, with the final product being submitted to the archives.
During the time 4-8PM on Friday July 19th, a group mural piece will also be created at The Rooms in one of their classrooms. This will be a community-created mural that demonstrates Newfoundland’s history and pride by simply painting a hand and pressing it against the large canvas.
The Rooms is wheelchair accessible.
