Join us as we talk about the myriad voices and issues for Caribbean people at home and abroad who are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC). What is it like to be LGBTSTGNC and Caribbean? How are LGBTSTGNC communities in the region imagined within and outside Caribbean borders? Are sexual minority communities in the Caribbean more vulnerable to violence? What are these communities and others doing to create change? What are the experiences of Caribbean migrants and first & second generation Caribbeans in the United States who identity as LGBTSTGNC? What are some of the politics of language, identification, and visibility?

In conjunction with the Israel Apartheid Week, and facilitated by the

Palestine/Israel Education Project,  using a mixture of demonstration and discussion, this workshop will explore ways to raise awareness about

the struggle in Palestine while empowering people in the US to articulate and address our own connections to the issues of colonialism, racism, and militarism.

We will use…
•    Palestinian hip hop videos,
•    English translation of lyrics,
•    digital stories produced by youth in refugee camps,
•    discussion questions,
•    an interactive historical map role play exercise,
•    letters from Israeli youth refusing to serve in the army,
•    documentary footage of Palestinian youth discussing prison,
•    clips from the documentary film "Slingshot Hip Hop"

This discussion will be focused on supporting Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming (LGBTSTGNC) People of Color (POC) in our exploration of this issue. For more info, contact Trishala at or 718.596.0342 x. 12
