QueerLab

QueerLab is a youth-led media program exploring LGBTQ+ experiences in the Southeast and beyond.Each QueerLab session brings together an editorial team of queer identifying youth to publish I Don’t Do Boxes, and organize workshops focused on creative media production and digital storytelling. This season we focus on queer liberation and individual transformation, explore the existence of the gender spectrum, and create multimedia experiences and sustainability resources.This year’s theme for the 5th edition of the magazine and workshops is OutLaws– for those who’ve been criminalized or erased altogether by the established order. This year we take time to celebrate the resiliency of those existing in spite of the harsh borders of contradictory conformity. We will take time to honor those that have fought for us to exist today, realize where we are in this moment in relation to their work, and imagine the futures we deserve to have. Join us as we recognize the multiple histories in our bodies and critically discuss what it means for us to have equity in a world that denies it.
