workshop on sexual ’safety’ inside and outside prisons
YOU IMPROVISE TO SURVIVE
A workshop / discussion featuring statements from gay, queer and trans prisoners across the US and Canada on what sexual “safety” means when condom access is restricted or when queer sex is criminal. The workshop and discussion following seeks to start dialogue about how we can support one another, and each others’ struggles for control over our own sexual lives, as trans folks and gays and queers across prison walls.
workshop on queer youth & criminalization
KINGS AND QUEENS AND CRIMINAL QUEERS
A workshop and discussion charting the ways in which queer and gender nonconforming communities continue to be criminalized. The workshop outlines the legal status of queerness historically, and the implications that these histories have for us as queers and trans people today. The workshop provides an opportunity to talk about our experiences of marginalization in the context of the current legal landscape in Montreal / Quebec / Canada. The workshop provides an overview of projects and organizations that intervene on this process of criminalization and discuss strategies for responding. This workshop can be geared for a youth or adult audience.
