In partnership with SAW Gallery and Pink Triangle Services (PTS), the Trans Arts Collective is presenting the Queer Youth Comics Project (QYCP). The QYCP is a French and English workshop series teaching LGBTTQ youth how to write and draw comics for self-expression in a supportive environment. This is an innovative initiative to establish more arts programming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirited and queer youth in the Ottawa/Outaouais region between the ages of 16 and 25 and their allies.
The last workshop will be a community panel discussion on queer youth open to the public. Discussions will be generated from the workshop participants’ comics. All members of the public are invented to attend to learn more about queer youth. We hope to continue the community dialogue on LGBTTQ youth with an exhibition at the Shenkman Arts Centre in January 2010.
