Diy Self-Care Tool Wrkshp!, Hieu Tran, Song
Q-Summit Gathering
We are powerful and fierce. We are who we are because we face many obstacles daily. We are who we are because we are resilient. When our daily interactions push us into feeling that we must live in survivor/survival mode, we feel spent and stressed. Keeping care of ourselves keeps us ready to rise above the bull. This workshop will serve as a space for sharing the many ways we remain resilient and will encourage participants to have fun while taping into our collective and individual power(s) of self-preservation. We will focus on naming sustainable self-care practices and building tool …
So Sochi...: Understanding The Complex Landscape Of International Queer Politics And Interventions, Erik Lampmann
So Sochi...: Understanding The Complex Landscape Of International Queer Politics And Interventions, Erik Lampmann
Q-Summit Gathering
The advent of the 2014 Sochi Games generated a flurry of debate among queer folks as to the role of domestic activists in internationals justice movements. We saw some major corporations attacked via boycotts due to their business relationships in Russia; we saw other corporations exalted for their 'social responsibility' in promoting LGBTQ interests. As this movement weighs intervention in Russian LGBTQ politics alongside other travesties- e.g. the state-sanctioned regime of anti-gay violence in Uganda- situating our own actions within an increasingly global landscape becomes increasingly important. I'm interested in pushing participants to think critically about policy or movement interventions …

Queerness And Christianity, Chris Parks
Q-Summit Gathering
As the Queer movement progresses within our context, less and less are we bombarded by secular defenses against queerness. Now, the movement is increasingly having to navigate the world of faith and specifically Christianity. This discussion-based workshop will cultivate the tools to effectively and nonviolently navigate such a conversation. We will graze over explanations of the clobber passages, and spend most of our time reclaiming the biblical text and strategies for connecting with someone of a deeply biblical mindset. The hope is that each young adult, no matter where they find themselves on ideas of faith, will be empowered to …
Artist Caucus, Jon Henry, Jasmin Ullah
Artist Caucus, Jon Henry, Jasmin Ullah
Q-Summit Gathering
The caucus will allow artists to express their full potentials in the supportive and creative environment space. Arts have been a prevalent component of queer activism, politics, and identity formation. Queer artists face additional barriers like lack funding, commercialization, censorship, commodification, and oversight within their field and in relationship to others. Creating a meeting space for queer artists will allow for us to develop our own language and further develop our professional relationships and practices; it will further nurture and inspire the study of queer history, theory, criticism, and studio practices. Topics for discussion include history, resource sharing, advocacy, compensation, …
Legitimizing The Other: Are You Gay Enough?, Clara Kerckhove, Hayley Angel
Legitimizing The Other: Are You Gay Enough?, Clara Kerckhove, Hayley Angel
Q-Summit Gathering
Discussion will be focused on understanding how and why society conceptualizes sexual orientation as black-and-white and ultimately fails to recognize asexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, and even the fluidity of sexuality over a lifetime as legitimate. The discussion will be open to people of all sexualities. However, the focus will be on the erasure of non-gay sexual orientations.
