The Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) invites Maia Kobabe and Gabrielle Calvocoressi to be in conversation about attacks against queer and nonbinary people and works, as well as amplifying the art of our speakers.

The guest speakers will help us think about "liberty," "freedom," and "democracy" and what these words mean for them as nonbinary artists and how the audience can be advocates for liberty, freedom, and democracy. 

The first 30 registrants (who also attend the event) will receive a free copy of GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR.

Though eir work has received praises and won many awards, it is also the the #1 most frequently challenged and banned book around the country. Started as a way to explain to eir family what it means to be nonbinary and asexual, Gender Queer is more than a personal story: it is a useful and touching guide on gender identity—what it means and how to think about it—for advocates, friends, and humans everywhere.
