BUTCH Voices NYC 2010 Regional Conference - September 25th
 

BUTCH Voices NYC 2010 Regional Conference

September 25th

You know we had to bring BV to the Big Apple! New York City will host one of four BUTCH Voices Regional Conferences in 2010. Last year’s ground-breaking BUTCH Voices conference brought together hundreds of self identified Butches, Studs, Aggressives and other similar identified folks, as well as many allies for conversation, workshops, entertainment, and good ol’ fashioned butch bonding.

Our hope for the BUTCH Voices NYC Regional Conference is to provide a similar, regionally-focused event with the same awesome, open spirit and attitude. We will also be including substantial programming around health and wellness.

We are looking for interested people to serve on the planning committee, as well as community members who would like to lead workshops and discussions or participate in visual and performing arts presentations. In addition, we will be holding at least one open meeting in which community members who are not able to actively work on the conference are able to contribute to the planning process. People wanting to participate in the BUTCH Voices NYC Regional Conference can also email BVNYC2010@gmail.com with their interest and questions.

Call for submissions: We welcome workshop ideas of all kinds, films, performances, skill shares, especially on topics which speak to the cultural, sexual, emotional, physical, and psychological relationships that arise in the lives of Butches, Studs, Tombois, Aggressives, Machas, etc. We are open to all perspectives–queer, feminist, womanist, neither or beyond! We particularly encourage proposals by and for people-over sixty, under twenty-one, working-class, and people of color or persons with disabilities.

Deadline for Submissions for BUTCH Voices NYC is August 1, 2010. Please submit your proposal or abstract to particular city in which you are interested in presenting or performing BVNYC2010@gmail.com along with a short bio of yourself and any other presenter.

Please forward this widely to all who may be interested in participating.
