Pritličje

 V izjemno veselje nam je, da vas lahko povabimo na predstavitev knjige Supporting Trans People of Colour in pogovor s pisateljem_ico in trans aktivistko_m Sabah Choudrey, ki k nam prihaja iz Londona. S Sabah se bomo pogovarjale_i v sredo, 9. marca ob 18:00 v Pritličju, in s tem dogodkom tudi transfeministično obeležile_i osmi marec.  

 V knjigi “Supporting Trans People of Colour: How To Make Your Practice Inclusive”, ki je izšla januarja 2022 pri Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Sabah Choudrey na dostopen način predstavi temo vključevanja temnopoltih trans oseb. Temnopolte trans osebe so namreč pogosto izključene iz LGBTQ in trans prostorov, saj sta spol in rasa pogosto videna kot ločena drug od drugega. Tako so velikokrat izpuščene_i iz različnih gibanj in storitev, celo v prostorih za trans in nebinarne osebe so njihove POC identitete pogosto spregledane. Choudreyeva knjiga vpelje teorijo intersekcionalnosti ter predstavi praktične korake, ki so ključni za to, da je skupnost lahko reprezentirana v celoti in za ustvarjanje varnejšega prostora za temnopolte trans osebe. Kot takšno, je delo izrednega pomena za vse pedagoške, mladinske, zdravstvene, svetovalne delavke_ce, ki delajo s trans osebami, za LGBTIQ+ skupnosti in za vse, ki želijo biti v zasebnem, aktivističnem ali profesionalnem življenju bolje osveščene_i.

 Sabah bo z nami delil_a pestre izkušnje kot trans oseba in dolgoletni_a trans aktivist_ka. Po pogovoru z avtorjem_ico si obetamo tudi vprašanja in bogato diskusijo. S Sabah se bo pogovarjal_a Evan Grm, vodja programa pri Zavodu TransAkcija.

Dogodek bo potekal v angleškem jeziku.

 Najlepše vas torej vabimo na enkratni aktivistično-literarni večer z izjemno_im Sabah Choudrey!

Osebe, ki se identificirajo na trans in nebinarnem spektru pa vabimo tudi na trans-skupnostno druženje s Sabah, ki bo v četrtek, 10. marca ob 17:00 v Klubu Tiffany (zanj so nujne prijave!). https://www.facebook.com/events/325813842925277

Description in English

 We are very excited to announce the upcoming literary evening with London based activist and writer Sabah Choudrey who will present their new book “Supporting Trans People of Colour”. The talk will take place on March 9, 6 p.m. at Pritličje and will be, among other things, our transfeminist way of marking March 8. 

 In “Supporting Trans People of Colour: How To Make Your Practice Inclusive”, Sabah Choudrey provides an accessible introduction to issues around People of Colour (POC) trans inclusion. Trans people of colour are often excluded because gender and race are treated as separate issues. They are therefore left out from movements and services and in trans and non-binary spaces, their POC identities are overlooked. Choudrey’s guide introduces the theory of intersectionality from the start, giving practical tips and steps to ensure that the community as a whole may be represented and creates a safer space for trans people of colour to thrive. As such, Supporting Trans People of Colour is an invaluable resource for therapists, counsellors, healthcare professionals, and those working in education and charities, as well as those wanting to make their approach and service more inclusive.

 Sabah Choudrey will share some experiences and memories from their abundant life as a trans person and years of experiences as a trans activist. After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion. The talk will be moderated by TransAkcija’s program officer Evan Grm.

The event will be in English.

 We warmly welcome you to this evening with the incredible Sabah Choudrey!

 All trans and/or nonbinary persons are also invited to a special trans community hangout with Sabah on Thursday, 10. 3., at 17:00 – 20:00 in Club Tiffany (Registration for the hangout is mandatory.) https://www.facebook.com/events/325813842925277
