Queer Artist Survival Salon #2

April 3 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm PDT

EARTH Lab SF (Beth Stephens) and Jason Wyman / Queerly Complex are hosting THREE Peer Exchanges at the new 465 Collective Space to harness the peer power of San Francisco Bay Area Queer Artists to co-create survival tactics, tools, and frameworks.

We, as queer / dyke / fag artists, know that our art / work / collections have been, continue to be, and will likely always be censored by domination, oppression, and tyranny. We will think, dream, and work together to develop tactics that ensure our being / art / work survives these attacks. Each Peer Exchange in this series focuses on a different aspect of queer / dyke / fag survival and uses arts-based activities to generate collective wisdom. We will gather our results into an online resource guide with the participants’ consent. This guide will feature a summary of the Peer Exchanges, art activities to aid personal and collective exploration, and suggested material and actions for deeper understanding and analysis. We will autonomously and collectively take action to ensure queer / dyke / fag art / artists are more interconnected, documented, and their work shared, so that it / we survive long into the future.

TOPIC TWO: Queer Life Social Security – What kinds of security do we queers need to live (and thrive) in this oppressive world? This question will be the featured topic of our second Peer Exchange, where we will craft our Personal Social Security Cards. We can display these cards should we find ourselves in a place of insecurity or emergency. They will remind us of who we are, what to do, and who to rely on in case of emergency. E.A.R.T.H. Lab SF and Queerly Complex will compile the tactics, ideas, and strategies generated through this exercise into a Queer Security Tip Sheet and publish it via the Culture Tending Commons. We will also be sharing all of our backend organizing tactics so other queers / dykes / fags can facilitate similar conversations and collective knowledge generation in their communities.
