✈️ Chemstories Is Cleared for Landing!
Come celebrate the launch of a new Party n’ Play podcast series on February 5th at .bar 🗓️
This new podcast series was created by gay, bis*xual, q***r men, as well as trans and non-binary folks sharing their experiences related to party n’ play / ch3ms3x 🎙️
But more than a podcast, it’s the result of a collaborative investigation into the lived realities of the scene.
Why is it important for people with lived experience to tell their stories in their own words? Too often, people with lived or living experience have been silenced, stigmatized, or spoken about rather than with.
In this series, the community takes control of the narrative — speaking for themselves, asking to be heard, and sharing insights that might just change the way people perceive them.
To celebrate the launch, it felt right to “host” a party. So, on February 5th, come out to .bar between 5 PM – 7 PM to enjoy an after work cocktail, a little nibble and good company.
You’ll also be treated to curated segments of the podcast throughout the event to help spark and stimulate conversation, all hosted by Chemstories’ YYZ host, the effervescent Bradley Hampton-Wallis, with special guest appearances from the Chemstories research team and from the podcast interviewees.
This event is for anyone in the 2SGBTQ+ community who parties themselves, or knows, loves and supports those who do.
• Admission is free.
• Light snacks will be provided.
• Cash bar for alcohol.
