*1) OutWrite! Thursday, August 20th, 330 Kent St. 6:30pm*

Agitate! presents...
OutWrite!
queer/trans/two-spirit writers of colour and indigenous writers refuse to be
written out!

Thursday, August 20th, doors open at 6:30 pm, reading at 7 pm
Montgomery Legion Hall, 330 Kent St, near Somerset
wheelchair accessible
Tickets at the door: $10-20 sliding scale
all ticket proceeds to Migrants' Trade Union of South Korea

Agitate! presents an exciting reading event and panel of writers and poets
in celebration of Pride. Often writers of marginalized identities face
challenges in presenting and publishing their own points of view coupled
with the threat of their voices being tokenized and co-opted in the process.
Featuring both emerging and established writers from Ottawa and beyond, this
panel will explore issues of representation, intersectionality and how
identity and experience are expressed in the writers' craft.

Panel:
Nalo Hopkinson
Trish Salah
Kalyani Pandya
Rob Friday

Additional reading performances by:
Salimah Valiani
Faye Estrelle

This event will also be a fundraising effort for the Migrant Trade Union
(MTU) in South Korea. MTU is a union of documented and undocumented migrant
workers in South Korea, the only union of its kind in the world today. The
MTU has joined in the struggle of GLBT people in South Korea, including
defending the needs of its own GLBT members. Agitate feels it is important
to connect our work with the struggle of other racialized people in the
world, especially as the rights of migrant workers in Canada continue to be
largely ignored.
