🎬 Shorts: I Wear My Heart On My Sleeve + Workshop 🧵

Update: Only in-person tickets remaining

We’re collaborating with the Vancouver Queer Film Festival for a special screening and workshop, I Wear My Heart on My Sleeve! 🎟️ We’ve got free tickets for 10 folks to join us in-person on September 20 at 2 PM or online from September 21 to 24. Interested? RSVP and we’ll be in touch! 🌈

🧵 Clothing can be a means of self-expression as well as a way to represent the communities we belong to; we dress up both to stand out and to fit in. This shorts program recommended for grade 8+ explores fashion, culture, personal style, and identity from multiple perspectives, demonstrating how clothing provides opportunities for creativity, acceptance, and social change.

✂️ Followed by a 90 minute Gender Expression workshop with Out In Schools, with supplies provided and activities for you to experiment with, explore, and create your unique gender expression! Bring clothes to modify or swap, and learn to modify your clothes into items that bring you joy.✨

📍 Location: Cineplex Odeon International Village Cinemas (in-person) or online
📅 Online Dates: September 21 - 24

🍄  Mycelium 🍄

Mycelium is space for queer & trans youth 16-29 across what is currently known as BC, where we gather to center healing, pleasure, and justice in our lives as we envision and create a world liberated from HIV & Hep C stigma. 

We are committed to reducing stigma related to HIV & Hep C and to building communities where we feel safe talking about the highs and lows of sex, drugs, relationships and all the things that bring us pleasure. 

Land Acknowledgement 

Mycelium events take place on traditional, unceded territories of various First Nations in what is now colonially referred to as ‘British Columbia’. We hold this fact in our hearts and actions throughout our work at Mycelium. Our team is committed to an ongoing process of learning what it means to do work on this land in a way that brings us closer to Indigenous Sovereignty.  

Mycelium offers online and in person programs organized by coordinators based on the traditional, unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ (Tsleil Waututh), xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), S’ólh Téméxw (Stó:lō), Qayqayt, Stz’uminus, Lheidli T'enneh, and Dakehl Keyoh. 

We invite you to find out what territory you will be joining this event here.
