Queer Third Spaces: Resurgence and Resilience
April 21 @ 5:00 pm PDT
The strength and solidarity of queer community deepens in the midst of local and global anxieties related to political and social destabilization, rapid technological reformulations, and post-pandemic economy. This is evident in the preponderance of third spaces surviving – and even new ones being established – for and by LGBTQ+ people. These spaces range from cafes and community centers, art galleries and performance venues, bars and clubs, parks and plazas. These places are the venues for community organizing, mutual aid, performing queer culture, socializing and building political capital. In conversation with a 2017 SFUFF Program on the demise of queer bars in the Mission District, this program will celebrate how LGBTQ+ communities work tirelessly in spite of structural forces to keep them and their allies oppressed.
Doors open at 5pm, and the program begins at 5:30pm.
