The theme of this evening centers around the subject of 'Like a River', which is a photographic exploration and portrait of trans and queer communities in the Amazon by queer artist and anthropologist Daniel Jack Lyons (@danieljacklyons). This evening, we will dive into the topic of 'coming of age and finding your identity in LGBTQIA+-phobic societies'.
Different members of the community who have come to the Netherlands from faraway places, in order to find their identity, their safety, and/or their chosen families, will get into conversation about their lived and shared experiences, followed by a Q&A with the audience. Besides this enlightening and in-depth panel talk, expect some mindblowing art- and music performances, bites & drinks and a beautiful and moving exhibition. A not-to-miss evening!
And the best thing is: this event is completely free of charge. All you have to do is sign up through this link. Stay tuned for the full programme and announcements of the speakers and performers through the instagram accounts of @hf.young and @melkwegexpo!
