Join me for a night of reading/performing poetry for Sequin/ce.

Sequin/ce, a community co-created collaborative project, positions queer JOY as a mode of resistance. Organized by Joy Cotton, Aspen M. Laboy, and Artur Melika in response to legislation that destabilizes and disenfranchises Nebraska’s LGBTQIA2S+ communities, Sequin/ce organizers collected photographs that visually interpret notions of queer joy through an open submission process. They then assembled photographs into a large-scale collage that wraps the gallery space in a visual manifesto of collective power, enduring presence, and joyful resistance.
