CRIMINAL QUEERS BACKYARD FILM SERIES + PERFORMANCES

*Film: Yapping Out Loud by Mirha -Soleil Ross
(2004)<http://www.kersplebedeb.com/mystuff/video/msr/yap_int.html>
*
A video documentary based on first-person Toronto performance show (7
monologues) dealing with prostitution and anti-prostitution. A tour de force
by Canada’s most famous transsexual sexworker animal-rights activist
performance artist, Yapping is hilarious and moving –half autobiographical,
half agitprop satire, fully unforgettable.

*Sarah Bernard* is a young girl from Haiti who has momentarily settled in
Montreal. She writes songs and book(s) in English, French, and Creole for
piano, guitar, and voice. (Someday, Spanish and Italian– someday.) She’s a
DJ who lives on and for dance-floors, but when Sarah sings, you can find
soft traces of traditional Haitian folklore, little girl blues, traces of
growing up on a piano and moving across the continent. They haven’t invented
a name for her genre yet.

* SPECIAL THANKS to the Montreal Sound Team for hooking us up!
♥♥♥♥

*Ste. Em's Pervers/cité line-up... *Ste. Emilie is the official flogger of
Pervers/cité <http://perverscite.org/> this year, so we have a special
program in honour of it lined up for you! (All events are at Ste. Emilie

♥♥♥♥ QPOCLUCK: Oh queer people of color, where art thou?
Sunday, August 8th – 6-11pm

Howdy beautiful people!
On Sunday, August 8th you are cordially invited for a righteous Queer/Trans
potluck at the Ste-Émilie Skillshare. The event will start around 6pm and
will end around 11-ish!
Bring a delicious dish to share, and something to drink.
This event is pretty informal, it’s just an excuse to meet other wonderful
queer people of colour, share our experiences and have a good time.
Please RSVP at qpocluck at gmail.com – let us know what you will bring, and if
you have any food allergies.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Note: this event is open to those who self-identify as both queer/trans and
indigenous/”visible minority”/mixed race/people of colour. We appreciate
your understanding.
