Join BIYA BIYA for an in-person event for Iranian queers in Chicago! The event will create collages and zines that make space for cultural reflection and preservation.
As we meet and mix, we will share creative space to make materials documenting our existence. Participants can contribute to a collection that will be donated to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, home to the world‘s largest collection of materials by and about lesbians and their communities since 1974.
This space welcomes Iranians across the queer spectrum including and alike khānvāde (family) to find each other and build community. This event is exclusively for people of Iranian heritage. Considering the limitations on these types of spaces, attendees agree to center queerness, foster inclusivity, and be safe community members. Please make sure this is you before signing up to participate in this event.
