Quare Vibes: Claiming Our Realness Through Healing Our Wounds

To create an inclusive and affirming space where Black LGBTQ individuals from the Columbus community can celebrate the history of their activism and heal from the wounds incurred throughout activism. Whether HIV activism or legal/civil recognition, the advocacy work we do comes with costs even when there are victories. Being able to acknowledge these costs and do the mental work to remove the effects of stigma takes a collective effort. Celebration comes in the form of art and comedy, and this event will feature both for your healing and for education.
