In the wake of Pride, this session convenes activist Mose-Issie, creative Lisa Inneh, and academic Teena Lashmore to dig into the erasures baked into mainstream queer spaces."

A event held at The Cube on Tuesday 29th July. The event starts at 20:00.
As Pride becomes more visible each year, it risks leaving behind the very people who helped build it. Too often, Pride ignores the deep inequalities within its own institutions and sidelines the queer voices of the Global Majority. At PJDS we will discuss the intersection of being a member of the Global Majority and queer, capable of speaking truth to power, challenging the status quo, and explore the institutional racism still embedded in Pride organisations; the lack of funding and recognition for Global Majority-led queer events; and what true inclusion and solidarity actually look like.
