Trans Day of Visibility

Trans Day of Visibility

March 31 | 6:00PM

 

Come celebrate the Transgender Day of Visibility at Contemporary Calgary on Sunday March 31^st at 6 pm. Working in partnership with Queer Citizens United, Skipping Stone, Calgary Pride, Calgary Queer Arts Society, Black Pride YYC, and Foria Clinic, we are proud to present an evening featuring two short films highlighting the Two-Spirit, Transgender, and Non-Binary communities. 

After some short speeches in support of the Gender Diverse Community, we will be showing:

Second Stories: Deb-we-win Ge-ken-am-aan - Our Place in The Circle Lorne Olson's short documentary presents a vision he had of two-spirited people dancing, laughing, and smiling. His vision spurs him to rediscover the strength of the past to better face the challenges of today. This funny and buoyant film documents his touching journey.

“TIERRA” is an experimental film piece directed by Fana Adjani. This story speaks about the recognition of the destruction, the transformation, the loss of territory, gender identity, ecofeminisms, and the relationship within the feminist struggle.
After the short films we invite guests to stay for a panel discussion on the importance of the International Day of Visibility.
