Under the Skin #3: Queer CALD Family
Tue 3 Feb, 7.30pm 15/$10
The Australian GLBTIQ Multicultural Council and Hares & Hyenas present Under the Skin #3, a panel series exploring queer life from culturally and linguistically diverse perspectives.
Families can be those we are born into or those we make ourselves. Does our ethnic background and cultural beliefs determine our ideas about ourselves when it comes to sexuality and identity?
Will those ideas affect how we relate to our parents, siblings and extended family? Where does our cultural and ethnic background fit when we are making intimate relationships?
And what are the consequences when we decide to choose a family of our making rather than automatically going with our biological family and their possible expectations?
Chaired by Associate Professor Ruth McNair, our AGMC panel includes educator and community advocate, Dr Tony Mordini (President AGMC), neuropsychologist and community advocate, Dr Judy Tang (Vice-President AGMC), educator and senior policy adviser, Tony Romanelli and peer educator at Victorian AIDS Council, Budi Sudarto.
This panel discussion is the third in a series of evenings devoted to exploring queer diversity in ethnicity, culture and language in Australia.
