Creatively Expressing our 2SLGBTI+ Identities Through Intergenerational Daring Dialogue

exChange is an Intergenerational 2SLGBTQI+ daring dialogue arts project. Our aim is to bridge the gap between 2SLGBTQI+ youth and the elders who paved the way. This intergenerational exchange through art hopes to create spaces where 2SLGBTQI+ youth can learn the stories of how their freedoms have come to be, and where older folks from the 2SLGBTQI+ can learn the terminology/gain a deeper understanding of the current evolution of the community. The goal of this initiative is twofold: to establish intergenerational reciprocal relationships through art making, and to document the storytelling of the English-speaking 2SLGBTQI+ communities in Montreal / Tiohtià:ke, which are often stories unheard. The hope is to share the work with the broader city’s audience, and have on-going connections between generations, especially when these links are not always present in biological family structures of 2SLGBTQI+ individuals.
