The lowdown
Join us for an evening of trans joy, creativity, connection, and reflection this Trans Day of Remembrance (TDOR). We’re hosting an open mic night for the LGBTIQA+ community to come together to remember those we have lost, honour their lives, and hold fast to our continued care, resilience and resistance. Together, we’ll make space for grief and reflection, while celebrating the joy and strength of our communities. Whether it’s poetry, music, visual art, or something entirely your own; there’ll be plenty of opportunities to share something creative. You’re also warmly invited to come along, listen, and enjoy being part of the community. If you’d like to share your own work or offer something in honour of someone else, we’d love to hear from you. Do let us know if there’s anything you need to feel comfortable or supported in sharing. Alongside the open mic, we've also created a creative space to explore expression, process thoughts and feelings, or simply take a sensory break from the evening. In this space, you're invited to reflect on the prompts, Remember, Honour, Elevate, and contribute to a collaborative community art installation, or do your own thing with the materials provided. There’s no pressure to create, share, or participate in any way. The space and activities are designed to be flexible, so you're welcome to drop in and out throughout the evening, whenever it feels right for you. Come as you are. Whether you want to share, listen, create, reflect, or simply be together, you’re welcome here.
