Terms like queer, heteronormativity, homonationalism, and pinkwashing are widely used, but where do they come from and what do they actually mean? How can these critical concepts help us to make sense of ourselves and the world around us? How might a queer approach shed light on ways that gender and sexuality intersect with class, race, patriarchy, disability and colonialism?

Join us to celebrate the launch of Mad Kin zine with an afternoon of poetry, talks and workshops. This zine is about the alternative kin we craft outside of psych and policing spaces to keep our communities safe. It houses calls to action from abolitionist and safe housing networks, disabled and queer artists, and groups resisting immigration raids.
