Join us for a night to celebrate stories of joy, survival, and resilience that point to a future where we can thrive amidst oppression!
After a sold-out debut and packed second show, the Queer Story Slam returns with its third event Prepare For The Good on Saturday, September 13th, at 7 PM at the Bombyx Center for Arts & Equity in Florence, MA.
How do you Prepare For The Good? Bear witness with us as storytellers share personal truths about what it takes to feel safe, seen, and connected in challenging times. What does protection and safety mean amongst confusion and fear? How do we become stronger and find pleasure unapologetically during hard times? How can we balance strength with love and kindness? On the other side of grief, exhaustion and sacred rage there is a world where we thrive as the fullest expression of ourselves, standing with our backs straight, side by side, stronger as a united front. Storytelling reminds us that we never apologize for speaking out loud.
This season’s theme, Prepare for the Good, is the motto of seasoned trans and Indigenous organizers at Imagine Water Works, who protect and resource their community in New Orleans against storms. View their beautiful Queer/Trans Guide to Storms, for art, poetry, and advice from queer people of color who have lived through catastrophe, and found beauty in the midst of it.
Tickets are available on a sliding scale: $5, $10, $20 (pay what you can). No one will be turned away for lack of funds. All tickets are general admission, and proceeds support the Queer Story Slam and future events. We encourage you to purchase tickets in advance
