Drag and Dim Sum: A case study in cross‑cultural 2SLGBTQIA+ engagement

Out on Bay Street 2026

About This Session

Community engagement looks different across cultures, and the most impactful programming often happens at the intersections. This case study examines a real initiative that brought together drag performance and Chinese-Canadian culinary culture to create a space that was both proudly queer and deeply rooted in cultural tradition. You'll explore what it takes to design programming that honours multiple identities, avoids cultural flattening, and builds genuine cross-community connection.
