Queer Activism & Book Reading with Eugene I-Peng Tang

Join us for the first Pride Month show and event series at CAMOC running from June 16 to July 13.

This month’s programming highlights the queer experience within the Chinese American community through art, storytelling, and conversation. Each week we invite you to join us for activations of the work, including presentations, storytelling sessions, and conversations with the artists.

Eugene I-Peng Tang will share his work experience with Hotline Association, a queer service and activist group in Taiwan. Tang will provide an overview of queer activism in Taiwan and offer personal reflections on solidarity building, community outreach, and challenges. He will also read an excerpt from Grandma's Girlfriends, the Splendid Youth of Elder Lesbians, a nonfiction collection of elderly lesbian life stories co-authored by Tang. He will further share the interview process and elaborate on the history of lesbian experiences in Taiwan.

Together we discover, preserve, and showcase the queer experience in our community to better tell the Chinese American story, and to make space in our community for acceptance and celebration of its loved and loving LGBTQ+ members.

This special program is the result of a long-term collaboration between 6018|North and CAMOC, curated by Ji Yang and the team.

We hope to see you all there!
