We are excited to announce the 7th annual BLAQOUT! Conference that will take place in person at the University of California, Berkeley from October 14th-16th, 2022! This three-day conference has a rich history in the UC system as a time for affinity, solidarity, and celebration of African Diaspora and 2STLGBQ+ (Two-Spirit, Transgender, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer) communities! While we recognize that a single acronym cannot capture the entire expanse of our communities’ experiences with sexuality and gender, we have chosen 2STLGBQ+ to name and center Two-Spirit and Transgender identities to uplift the experiences of Afro-Indigenous, Transgender and Nonbinary people within the Black community.
BLAQOUT! is a structured conference featuring workshops from undergraduate and graduate scholars, staff, community members, and activists who are part of the BlaQueer Diaspora. It is also designed to create space for networking, empowerment, and critical community building among Black QTs (Queer and Trans people) across the state of California. The theme of this year’s conference will be BlaQ in Action. More information about our theme and the call for proposals will be coming soon!
Please feel free to circulate the Save the Date flyer, which is also posted on our social media accounts linked below!
