SUMMARY:K1 en français
DESCRIPTION:K1 en français revient avec une soirée de réflexion et de discussion qui promet d’être touchante et enrichissante! Le prochain événement sera une ciné-discussion spéciale autour du documentaire L’amour en partage. \n\n\n\nL’amour en partage \n\n\n\nCe court documentaire francophone plonge au cœur des expériences de personnes LGBTQ racisées. À travers des entretiens sincères\, les participant·es partagent les défis liés à l’intersection de leur identité\, notamment la queerphobie racialisée\, c’est-à-dire la discrimination vécue non seulement à cause de leur orientation sexuelle ou genre\, mais aussi en raison de leur origine ethnique ou raciale  . \n\n\n\nLe film met en lumière : \n\n\n\n\nLa double marginalisation : certains témoignent de micro‑agressions ou d’actes clairement discriminatoires\, à la fois sur des bases queer et raciales.\n\n\n\nLe poids des stéréotypes : l’homonationalisme est abordé\, où certaines formes de queerphobie sont expliquées comme étant culturellement “excusables” ou plus durables quand elles viennent de personnes racisées  .\n\n\n\nLes parcours de résilience et de réaffirmation : des récits de survivance\, de réappropriation culturelle et de fierté queer‑racisée montrent comment\, malgré les obstacles\, ces personnes trouvent force et communauté.\n\n\n\n\nEn résumé\, L’amour en partage invite à une réflexion sur les réalités vécues à cette double identité\, souligne l’importance de reconnaître et combattre les multiples formes d’oppression\, et valorise les stratégies de résistance et de solidarité au sein de la communauté.

SUMMARY:MAX Ottawa: Bantaba
DESCRIPTION:MAX Ottawa is hosting a Bantaba\, facilitated by Rodney Diverlus\, for Black queer folks. This for-us-by-us event will foster a safer space for discussions about Blackening spaces and thriving as a Black queer community in Ottawa. We’ll enjoy a family meal\, share our stories and experiences\, and discuss what we need to keep progressing. \n\n\n\nWhat is Bantaba?Bantaba is more than a gathering—it’s a return to a deeply rooted tradition of collective care\, radical listening\, and community-led transformation. Originating from West Africa\, Bantaba is a circular space where wisdom is shared\, stories are honored\, and futures are co-created. It’s a space without hierarchy—where everyone’s presence and voice holds equal weight. \n\n\n\nWhy Now? Why Ottawa?Ottawa’s Black queer community is experiencing a cultural renaissance — from ballroom to conferences to dancefloors and beyond. Bantaba doesn’t spark this movement; it meets it mid-stride. It offers a moment to ask: Where are we headed? What do we need now? How do we keep building together? \n\n\n\nWhat to ExpectLed by multi-hyphenate artist and strategist Rodney Diverlus\, Bantaba is not a lecture or a panel—it’s a living\, breathing conversation. It’s a space to unpack the realities of being Black and queer in Ottawa\, and to imagine collective paths forward. Your ideas\, your truths\, your presence are vital. There is no audience\, only participants. \n\n\n\nRegister Here! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue Accessibility \n\n\n\n\n\n\nChange rooms\n\n\n\nElevator/Lift\n\n\n\nEntrance/Exit\n\n\n\nFloor surfaces\n\n\n\nInterior\n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPassenger loading zone\n\n\n\nReception desks\n\n\n\nSignage\n\n\n\nStairs\n\n\n\nTelephone\n\n\n\nWashrooms
