SUMMARY:Sex Salon Workshop: Queer\, Trans\, Suburban
DESCRIPTION:Centering the suburbs as a place of brilliant queer and trans o
 rganizing\, a place of conscious forgetting (as I have termed it)\, and de
 ep struggle\, this workshop will create space for critical dialogue on the
  possibilities of genealogy\, archive\, mapping and community-building. Pa
 rt "uncovering" of histories\, part collective daydreaming\, the workshop 
 will provide participants with stories\, ideas\, and "wicked" questions. O
 ver the course of 2.5 hours\, Anu Radha Verma will trace across moments of
  queer and trans organizing with their connecting points in Mississauga an
 d Brampton\, point to new ways of imagining what activisms can look like\,
  and facilitate a discussion that will lead to a collective daydream of a)
  ways to document and share stories\; b) what "community" could look and f
 eel like for QTBIPOC folks who exist on the margins - of the city\, of mai
 nstream 2SLGBTQ+ spaces\, and racialized spaces.\n\nLocation: UC 253\n\nPl
 ease RSVP here.\n\nFacilitator:\n\nAnu Radha Verma is a queer diasporic so
 metimes-femme\, a survivor and someone who lives with mental health strugg
 le. She has a BA from Trent University and an MES from York University whe
 re she focused on queer and trans south asian organizing in Toronto from t
 he late 80s onwards\, reimagining archives and the possibilities of mess a
 s a theoretical tool. Since 2016\, Anu Radha (along with Berkha Gupta) has
  been organizing QTBIPOC sauga\, a grassroots gathering for QTBIPOC folks 
 from across Peel. She believes deeply in the possibiities and brilliance o
 f the suburbs.\n\nImage description:\n\nA photo of a computer screen showi
 ng an image with a speech bubble that reads: "QTBIPOC folks in Peel are...
 amazing!"\, with a blue background. Below the screen\, on the table\, are 
 some wooden letters that spell out "QTBIPOC".\n\nEntrance accessibility in
 formation:\n\nDue to the UC Revitalization Project Construction\, there wi
 ll be no wheelchair-accessible entrance to University College until furthe
 r notice. Since the UC Quad is a high-traffic construction area during the
  project\, the entry must be restricted as a safety precaution. We hope to
  have accessible entrance re-opened as soon as possible. If you plan to at
 tend Sex Salon and need accessibility assistance\, please notify sds.sexsa
 lon@gmail.com (or through the RSVP form) to arrange an escort through the 
 construction zone.
