Imagine a world where queer people were never persecuted, what could we have looked like in the past and what will we look like in the future? The Queertopia Kiki Ball is a journey through herstory, our roots as a culture, and a manifestation of what we'd like to see as Queer folx in the present and for the future. In collaboration with Debaser, The Queertopia Kiki Ball is here in hopes of bringing together the kiki ballroom communities of Toronto, Montreal + Ottawa to celebrate the expression of our unique identities and community at large. When: Saturday, September 28 Doors: 7:30 pm LSS: 8:00 pm Location: Alma Duncan Salon, Ottawa Art Gallery (inside Arts Court), 10 Daly ave. Admission: pay-what-you-can Tickets: Purchase advance here Walker sign-up form |

The 1970s is considered to be one of the more progressive decades of the 20th century and also was the Golden Era of the Ballroom scene. Disco: an inherently Black, Latin, and queer underground movement in which the music of disco dominated the global airwaves and the clubs. Pants were tight, shorts were high, hair was big, and the vibes were immaculate. All people wanted was to dance and have fun. Bring it in a look inspired by this golden age of queer culture. |
