Culture Shock presents:
Nightlife as Community-Building: A panel discussion
Nov. 21st, 7:00-8:30 PM EST on Zoom

From vogue balls to fundraiser parties, bar nights, drag shows, and strip-karaoke, nightlife spaces and events have always been a site of connection for queer and gender-nonconforming communities. Montréal in particular is known for its thriving party scene, and the same people and places that create those ephemeral spaces have also been intertwined with the history of political activism in the city. Past and present, it is impossible to discuss the successes, challenges, issues, and realities of our communities without acknowledging the contribution of the people who organize, perform at, and attend our nightlife events.
Join us for a discussion with established organizers about their experiences and philosophies for building community networks through their work. Panelists will include Cuartababy (CRZN), Camellia Jahanshahi (Lust Cove), and Marlyne Lust (Sweet Like Honey). Moderated by Adrienne Pan (Grind’her).
Culture Shock is an annual event series on anti-racism, migrant justice, and Indigenous solidarity. It seeks to bring together racialized communities to discuss issues relevant to their lives, as well as to allow those who do not belong to these communities to learn more about struggles against racism, colonialism and border violence. Every year, QPIRG brings panels, workshops, film screenings, performance nights and fundraiser parties to McGill students and broader Montreal communities.
