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 est une série annuelle d'événements sur l'antiracisme, la justice des migrants et la solidarité indigène. Son objectif est de rassembler les communautés racialisées pour discuter de questions pertinentes pour leur vie, ainsi que de permettre à ceux qui n'appartiennent pas à ces communautés d'en apprendre davantage sur les luttes contre le racisme, le colonialisme et la violence aux frontières. Chaque année, le GRIP organise des discussions, des ateliers, des projections de films, des soirées de performance et des soirées de collecte de fonds pour les étudiants de McGill et les communautés montréalaises en général.
