ResiStories: Living Archives of Pride
August 22 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
$23.76
Celebrate Pride at the Museum of Vancouver!
This August, we are honouring our local 2SLGBTQIA+ icons and histories and the “living archive” today’s community embodies and represents.
Emceed by Shay Dior, prepare to be wowed by drag performances from Continental Breakfast, Count Cupid and Mx Bukuru—who are taking inspiration from queer historical moments and icons to create their sets. Plus, scholars of queer culture and archives—and drag of course—will share info on the lesser known references in each performance. All of which will be followed by a panel discussion between the artists and scholars.
Come be entertained and educated and meet living archives of pride!
This event is created as a partnership between the UBC Public Humanities Hub and Museum of Vancouver, and is the final installation of our “ResiStories” series of programming.
About the Series:
ResiStories is a collaboration between the Museum of Vancouver and the UBC Vancouver Public Humanities Hub. This series of programming aims to bring scholars of intersectional equity-seeking work and identities together in mutual learning and solidarity with communities in the public space at the city’s oldest (and initially Eurocentric) cultural institution to resist colonial narratives. Each program features ongoing histories and acts of resistance in conversation with the Museum’s exhibitions. The ResiStories series is generously funded by the UBC Strategic Equity & Anti-Racism Enhancement (StEAR) fund.
