Amanda fucking Palmer of the Dresden Dolls was here and you missed it. And i missed it. I am sad. But go to NYC! Or Boston!
Also, Kat Butler and QPirg Concordia are looking for materials from a queer Montreal archive!
GIVE US YR
QUEER POSTERS, FLYERS, & STORIES!
because queer history didn’t end with
stonewall, or even sex garage
because we want to remember that fundraiser
party for shawn brant, anticapitalist dating workshop, pink bloc for
gaza,
panel on the criminalization of HIV, or workshop on anti-ableism in
queer
communities.
because events and histories can get lost
across language barriers and forgotten over time, but we want future
generations of queers to know what we’ve been up to
because it can be hard if not impossible to
learn about the queer history of a town, even when you grew up here.
because if we don’t write down our
histories then no one else will!
qteam is
looking for queer propaganda from the last 5 years or so because we’re
gonna
make an ARCHIVE ZINE.
if you have
a beautiful silkscreened anti-capitalist ass pirates poster, a flyer
from a
panthères roses action, a poster for PUSH IT (real good), a faggity ass
friday
flyer, a prisoner correspondence project postcard…whatever! send an
email to histoire.queer.mtl.stories@gmail.com
this is a qteam initiative (funded by QPIRG
Concordia) to archive recent
queer
organizing and make stronger links between queer organizers in the
city. qteam
is a radical queer collective active in montreal for the past four
years. qteam
puts on queer, anti-racist and anti-oppressive programming as well as
doing
solidarity work with many organizations and individuals in the city
that are
also committed to social justice. find us at qteam.org.
