Bash Back! needs workshops!

Hey, we need workshops for the Bash Back convergence!

BB! Denver is seeking workshop proposals for the 2010 Bash Back! convergence this May 27-30. We hope this weekend is more than just a couple days with our favorite radical queermos–we want to talk about cool things with awesome people, and build new connections between our struggles. Workshops are one way to do that, and are an integral part of the convergence planning this year. Several workshop proposals have already arrived, but lets get some more!

We are seeking workshop proposals for this year’s convergence especially on the following topics: Anti-Oppression, Mental Health, Palestinian Solidarity, Strategies for Physical Well Being, Response to Sexual Assault, DIY Sex Toys, DIY Other Sexy Things, Sex Work, Direct Action (including Bloc Tactics, Mobile Soundsystems, Analysis/Theory), Anarchist and Queer Theory, Prison Abolition, Prisoner Support, Kink, Spirituality, Group Presentations, Films made by Anarchists, Queer Films, and Permaculture. Your workshop idea doesn’t fit into any of those categories? Awesome, submit it anyway! And we want to hear what you queermos are doing in your communities, so send that too!!!

Please include: workshop title, presenter(s), description, ideal time length, and your material and logistical needs. Including blackboard needs–this convergence will probably not be at a school! The deadline for workshop proposals is May 2nd at 10:32 pm EST, and a materials deadline for accepted workshops is May 9th at 8:59 pm PST. Workshop proposals should be sent to: bbworkshops |at| gmail |dot| com. Questions about workshops are welcome as well.
