During this edition of Queercity we are ready to deconstruct and abolish the binary view on gender. Get ready to heal and change preconceived ideas, to give space and recognition to the fluidity of gender identity. Expect personal stories, experiences of resistance, fluid performances and conversations with BIPOC trans & queer communities that have decided to celebrate and live their freedom. Questions that we will discuss this evening are how do BIPOC Trans & Queer communities resist and fight against binaries? Can we let go and heal colonial ideas on gender? And how can we fully explore the fluidity of gender?
