Event Description

We need, in every community, a group of angelic troublemakers – Bayard Rustin

The joy of being unapologetically authentic is a gift that we, the queer-transgender community, can share with the world. In this 3 hour offering, we will use arts to channel our resistance by celebrating who we are. We will dance, draw and craft words to resist efforts that seek to invisibilise us. The world should know that no matter what, we will still party! 

Let our joy and celebration be their trouble. 

This event is presented in conjunction with the exhibition warrior garments, on view at MAP until August 2, 2026.

This programme is part of LGBTQIA+ programming and is an attempt to amplify narratives from within the queer community through film, dialogue, and collective reflection.
