Where does Queer analysis fit into Anti-Apartheid struggles?
What are the intersections of Queer movements and Palestinian resistance?
How do we rekindle the flame of Queer radicalism?
Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, a collective of queer, Toronto Palestine
solidarity organizers, are inviting you to attend a panel discussion on
'queering' the analysis of Israeli Apartheid. As a collective, we hope to
explore the ways in which we, as Queers, can organize in Toronto and work in
solidarity with social justice initiatives.
Speakers include:
Nayrouz - A queer Palestinian currently studying at York, and a founding
member of ASWAT, a Palestinian gay women's group.
Jenny Peto - A queer, anti-Zionist, Jewish activist living in Toronto, and
also a member of Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid.
Natalie Kouri-Towe - A PhD student enrolled at OISE, exploring the history
of queer movements in the Middle East.
John Greyson - A York professor and filmmaker who has documented and
explored queer organizing, particularly in relation to anti-Apartheid
struggles.
This event is part of the University of Toronto Students' Union (UTSU)
eXpression Against Oppression (XAO) week.
