Origins Eile has collaborated with gender.rip to present COLONIZATION & THE BODY - a panel discussion for QTPOC in Pallas Project Studios June 21st 5.30pm - 8pm
““
It's Pride month so lets all get together and chat.
This is a POC (people of color) centered event!
If this isn't you ask yourself if you should be taking up space here?
Food and music after panel to decompress and continue our chats and get to know each other, let's build community!
Due to it being a small capacity venue arrive early to avoid disappointment.
In this discussion we will have some of our favourite people talking on the body and the post colonial hangover of homophobia within the community.
We will discuss -
