Queer Elders
'Flourishing, Fighting and Found-family'
Preservation and proliferation in the face of oppression
When: June 18th, 2024
Where: Azure Beach Library
Come join us for a day of involved conversation with Queer Elders within the Azure Beach community!
Azure Beach is hosting a Human Library event under the banner of pride month! As such, we've chosen to highlight the lived experiences of the older queer members of our community.
Queer members of local communities are often under-represented in examinations of local history, largely owing to the oppressive and violent nature of this history. Because of this there's often a large emphasis on the progress that's been made, rather than the circumstances that called for change, and how those oppressed by them instigated that very change.
Azure Beach has scouted local Queer Elders within the community, and invite you to come and speak with them, learn from their experiences and examine the parallels between their lives and those of queer people today.
We actively encourage younger queer members of our community to attend, learn the history of both the queer and local community, and make connections with elders who you might otherwise never meet.
No tickets are required, however we do encourage you to RSVP on the below google form, as numbers are limited.

We hope to see you there!
Orla O'Connor,
Azure Beach Library.
