Queer cultures and identities can provide a rich sense of belonging for many. But what happens when you identify with more than one culture – if you’re queer and Indigenous, or queer and Muslim, or queer and Chinese? How do those cultures and identities come together? How do aspects of each culture shape your identity? What about when those cultures clash? Alyena Mohummadally, Noel Tovey, Maria Pallotta-Chiarolli and Juliana Qian will share their personal stories.
Hosted by Anton Enus. #QueerMargins
