SUMMARY:Community of Change: The Intersection and Impact of Black LGBTQ+ Men
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community dialogue about the experiences of Black LGBTQ+ men facilitated by multi-disciplinary artist and community leader Jermaine Nakia Lee!\nAlong with Lee, co-facilitators will be Nate Turner, owner of Your Custom Catering & Events and vocational school educator and Chandler “Chan” Robinson (Chan the Musical Mystic), CMS educator, martial artist and mystic artist.\nThis is the Gantt Center and the Levine Museum’s first Community of Change conversation in honor of the Men of Change exhibition. Community of Change conversations place participants at the forefront. The series will explore themes presented in Men of Change to create space for difficult conversations that both enlighten and motivate.\nInspired by Men of Change Bayard Rustin, Alvin Ailey, Kehinde Wiley, James Baldwin, and others, this conversation will explore the following questions:\n\nHow does this intersection of LGBTQ+ and Black identities influence who these men were, how they presented themselves, and their impact?\nHow did these Men of Change inspire their generations as well as those after them?\n\nThe conversation will move beyond the men presented in the exhibition into a wider discussion of the experiences of Black LGBTQ+ men, and how this contributes to the multi-layered Black experience. Discussion topics will include:\n\nComplexities of what it means to be a Black man\nThe spectrum of identities and vulnerabilities, including Black queer experiences and perspectives, compared to other queer experiences\nThe difference in generational experiences of men in the intersection\nThe history of Charlotte Black Pride\nWhat do true progress, celebration, and remembering look like?\nWhat is true celebration and remembering?\nWhat can we do on an individual level to uplift, support, learn from, and promote inclusion?\n\n \nWednesday, November 30th\n6:30 pm at Harvey B. Gantt Center\n551 South Tryon Street Charlotte, NC 28202\nThis event is FREE however, we do encourage you to register at the link below.\nRegister Here\nHarvey B.
