This event is specifically designed for LGBTQ+ Black, Global Majority, and migrant participants, in line with our mission to preserve and celebrate the underrepresented stories and cultural heritage of these communities. By making this event free to this group, we aim to ensure that barriers to access are removed, enabling greater participation and representation in this vital heritage work.
