How can ‘queer’ be, instead of a point of contention, a word that communit[ies] can rally around?

Let’s look at the impact the word ‘queer’ has had in LGBTQ organising in Singapore, especially among young people. What work does “queer” do in a local context? What community groups, that are usually segregated according to popular imagination, can it transcend?

This webinar will explore how ‘queer’ and other labels used in this region, such as ‘ah gua’, ‘tranny’, ‘bissu’, and ‘andro’ have increasingly (and historically!) been adopted in Singapore. Join us in discussing the potential of labels and their shifting meanings in building community, solidarity and political power.
