Celebrate Black History Month with the LGBTQ Center on Thursday, February 27 from 5-6:30pm in Upendo 1114 in a unique showcase of archived films from Durham-based Comfrey Films. After the showing of three short films, attendees will be invited to respond via writing, poetry, or video, exploring topics of afrofuturism, Black, and Trans identity. These reflections will be shared with the filmmakers themselves. In this intimate evening, have the chance to be in conversation with and held by innovative storytellers and the worlds they've created -- and be inspired to create your own.
This event is eligible for CLE credit. RSVP here on HeelLife!
Graduate students! Join QGAPS at 5:30pm on Monday, November 25th at the Graduate Student Center (211A W. Cameron Ave) to watch Red, White & Royal Blue (2023). A queer romcom, based on the 2019 novel by Casey McQuiston, about a fictional son of the US president and his clandestine romance with a fictional prominent member of the UK royal family. We're using this time to engage in some stress relief and unplug before the Thanksgiving holidays - which often means we have both assignments of our own and grading deadlines looming.
There will be pizza provided, so please make sure to RSVP here!
