During breaks, enjoy some tea, snacks, and conversations 🍵 Bring your own cup to avoid using the single-use ones 😊
🧵12:00 - 13:30h DIY Sew-on Patches
Give your old clothes a new life with patches made out of old jeans and t-shirts! This does not require advanced sewing skills – you can quickly bring your patch designs to life using paper stencils, acrylic paint and some fabric medium. The technique can be used to make anything from pronoun patches to band logos or cat pawprints. Additionally, learn some tips and tricks for working with stretchy fabric.
🍕13:30 - 14:30h Lunch break – Vegan Pizzas!
🏳️🌈14:30 - 15:30h Stories of LGBTQ+ Activism in the US
Landyn and Chessie will share their experiences on event organization as activism in the US, Wisconsin. Before moving to Lithuania, Landyn was active in organizing events, such as Madison June Pride Picnic, Trans Halloween (at least four times!!), The Helbach's Covid Protest that shut the business for intentionally violating masking policies, an untold number of board game nights, and many more. Get inspired by their stories and stay for a Q&A.
✒️16:00 - 17:15h Stand-up Comedy Basics: from the Page to the Stage
Learn the basics of stand-up comedy in a safe and supportive environment. The workshop will introduce you to the writing process, the structure of a joke and teach you useful tips and tricks on delivery and stage presence, as well as help you build confidence and summon up the courage to perform your jokes on stage!
🎶17:30 - 18:30h Voice Training "All voices: the First Step towards an LGBT+ Choir"
Music has the power to unite us. This voice training workshop hosted by vocalist and art producer Vaidas Bartušas and Lukas Butkus is a space to meet up, experiment with your voice and experience how music can be used for community building. Together we will explore the capabilities of the voice, improvise and discover how united voices affect us and our surroundings.
This workshop is an intro into an LGBTQIA+ Choir, which will be open to join this autumn. We invite everyone interested in being a part of the creative process – regardless of experience or musical talent. Come to this safe environment of discovery where your voice is a part of your identity, freedom and expression. Come, discover and join a new music community!
🎬19:00h "Hello stranger" by Amélie Hardy viewing & Discussion
Come see a short documentary "Hello Stranger" (2024), about a young trans woman Cooper Josephine and her story of struggling with transition. Seeking identity, she confronts family expectations and societal prejudices on her journey. More about the movie here. Stay for a discussion about the film.
The event series is organized in partnership with the Tolerantiško jaunimo asociacija, Vilnius Youth Policy Center and 22 bendrà būtis
We hope you'll have a great time, and see you there!
With queer joy,
Uni LGBT+
