LGBTQ2+ farmers and homesteaders in rural Ontario
June 23 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Where do queerness and farming intersect? Through archival research and interviews with contemporary farmers and homesteaders, this talk explores what queer agriculturalists bring to the table. Does an LGBTQ2+ identity lead to novel farming methods? How do LGBTQ2+ people navigate belonging, visibility, self-sufficiency, and community in rural areas? This talk aims to be accessible and informative for members of the queer community as well those who do not identify within this spectrum.
