SUMMARY:Tea for Tara: Episode 3
DESCRIPTION:Our next segment of Tea for Tara episode 3 “Finding Yourself Through Art” features special guest speaker\, Barley Burns in conversation with facilitator Kiran Niet! \n\n\n\nJoin us for a limited spot in our live audience at the Ottawa Trans Library\, by registering on Eventbrite\, link in comments. \n\n\n\nOr watch over live-stream on the Ottawa Trans Library Facebook\, Instagram and Youtube Channels\, or Elaina Martin Facebook page. \n\n\n\nBarley Burns (they/she/he) is an Ottawa born artist\, entrepreneur and journalist. They are the owner of Fairy Cowboy Tours\, a drag-artist led walking tour company focused on sharing the queer history of Ottawa. Barley performs across the country as a theatre and drag artist\, known for their drag king persona Morgan Mercury. They have a Bachelor’s degree in Public Affairs and Policy Management\, Development Policy from Carleton University\, and are completing a Bachelor of Journalism at the University of King’s College in Halifax\, Nova Scotia. \n\n\n\nKiran Niet is an artist who can’t pick a medium\, an event host\, a zinester\, and an accidental academic. Above all\, he is fascinated with community-building and storytelling\, whether through research\, art\, or organizing. As a volunteer at the Ottawa Trans Library\, he curates events centering queer and trans community. In his free time\, Kiran recklessly consumes unhealthy amounts of queer theory and sings in a choir. He can often be found tabling at art markets with his friends. He is about to graduate from Carleton University with a Bachelor’s degree in Global and International Studies\, specializing in Communications. \n\n\n\nThank you Canada Council for the Arts for supporting this important Trans Community Initiative. \n\n\n\n“Tea for Tara” is a monthly storytelling program for the Trans\, and Non-binary community to share\, and witness Trans Stories and history all archived for future generations\, including networking and mentorship.
