SUMMARY:Queerspora
DESCRIPTION:Join MAX\, the AIDS Committee of Ottawa\, and Capital Rainbow Refuge in curating an art collection for National HIV Testing Day.  \n\n\n\nOn Tuesday\, June 16\, we’re meeting at the AIDS Committee of Ottawa for an evening of crafting and community. Join us to design your own unique face mask\, expressing what HIV testing means to you. As an art medium\, masking has long represented anonymity\, protection\, and choice. For this upcoming Queerspora session\, we’re using masks to represent our lived experiences.  \n\n\n\nOn National HIV Testing Day (June 27)\, the art will be showcased in the ByWard Market to support public education and stigma reduction efforts.  \n\n\n\nAll materials provided.  \n\n\n\nQueerspora is MAX Ottawa’s monthly social group for queer newcomers.  \n\n\n\nRSVP through the form below to let us know you’re coming!
