Hey there! Tomorrow we are finally hosting our rescheduled Movie Night: A Black Q***r Movie Night. Feel free to comment/DM any more recommendations. We look forward to hearing them :)

Disclaimer:

Speqtrum is advertising this event as an opportunity to honour Black culture, history, joy, and resistance through film while gathering as a community. We also want to acknowledge an important gap: none our staff organizing or attending this event are Black. We recognize this as a big limitation in our programming, and wanted to share with you all for the sake of transparency and expectation. We know the necessity of ensuring our events and leadership reflect our community to the best of our ability. We still felt it was important to create space for Black history and present realities through this event. Black q***r activists and community members, historically and presently, have shaped the movements that allow us to do the work at speqtrum on a daily basis, and we hope to honour that through a movie night chosen by community. We are seeking input on what to watch, so please feel free to respond to our story or DM us with Black q***r film recommendations that we will vote on the day of.
