description:
QUEER ANCESTOR STORIES is a v soft evening of storytelling under the glow of the December full moon as we explore the intersections of queerness, inheritance, lineage and family -- both blood and chosen.
This is us reaching back in time gathering advice from our ancestors and learning from their heartaches and heartbreaks and challenges and celebrations. This is us acknowledging that tbh... our ancestors were queer AFFFF. This is us reclaiming their stories.
