On Thursday, November 7th, the GLBT Historical Society and Queer Rebel Productions presents "Give Us The Word: Queer Yesterday, Today, and Forever", a powerful literary exploration of Queer and Trans BIPOC history.

Held at the GLBT Historical Society Museum, this event is curated by Crystal Mason and features four talented writers crafting new works inspired by the museum's exhibition, “Queer Past Becomes Present.” The evening will celebrate how queer history shapes our present and inspires future generations to build inclusive communities that embrace diversity. Following the readings, a short panel discussion will offer insight into the creative process and the ways in which history continues to fuel queer and trans resilience.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, reflection, and celebration of Queer and Trans BIPOC voices!

SPEAKERS

Crystal Mason (they/them) is an Artist, Activist, Cultural Worker, Facilitator, and Co-Founder of Queering Dreams. Crystal makes art because they want to tell people something about themselves. They want to say something about being black and queer, fat and black, and being angry and full of love. they want to reveal the fear, hope, and danger they live with. They want to remember joy and connection, rage and grief. Art-making is a tool against oblivion. What we create is a tribute to our existence, to our resistance.

Additional speakers TBA shortly.
