Rafiki Screening & Queerceañera Celebration

*MICHIGAN PREMIERE*
Please note: This program has subtitles.

Presented in partnership with the MSU Womxn of Color Initiative and the Michigan Indigenous Chicanx Community Alliance

The film screening of RAFIKI begins at 6:00 PM immediately followed by the Queerceañera Celebration. Queerceañera aims to create a space to celebrate and embrace the intersection of Latinx (and POC) identities and queer (LGBTQ+) identities. Queerceañera is a space to dance, network, and express whole-selves. In Latinx cultures, a quinceañera is an important coming of age event; we want to offer queer peoples a space to come of age around their constructed families (chosen and biological) and loved ones.
