Check out our panel this Saturday in Harlingen during ! 🏳️🌈🙌
Narratives help us make sense of the world. They shape our beliefs and values, and they can inspire us to take action and spark social change.
Join Ruido Studios on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 5pm at the Harlingen Convention Center for a panel discussion on the state of the LGBTQ narrative in the Rio Grande Valley and Texas. With the rise of government sanctioned attacks against q***r and trans people, community leaders are pushing back through creative storytelling projects. You’ll hear from Gabriel Sanchez of and Joe Uvalles aka iconic dragtivist on how they are using art, media, fashion, culture, and historical records to tell the stories of the LGBTQ community in the 956.
This panel is part of our fall series “Who Runs the Narrative in the RGV?” Through this series, we’ll explore how narratives spread across our border region, particularly through news, independent media, art, and community hubs or “third-spaces.”
