11/17/09 7PM My People: A Film Series in Color Connecting LGBTQ communities and broader Pittsburgh Topic – The Glamorous Life Join us as we explore the roots of vogueing and how it has influenced popular culture today. We discover how balls, drag contests, and other LGBTQ originated activities have shaped LGBTQ culture and what roles they’ve played in supporting communities dealing with AIDs, socioeconomic instability, and other challenges. Paris is Burning Becoming a Legend takes more than fame. A cult-classic film that follows houses of NYC as they walk categories like “realness” and survive the harsh judgments of mainstream culture. Performance by The Iconic Legendary House of Infiniti Sponsored by PERSAD, New Voices Pittsburgh, The Delta Foundation, Steel-City Stonewall Democrats Admission: $5 |
