SUMMARY:Cine debate: Los lirios no son para mi
DESCRIPTION:El 17 de mayo se celebra el Día Internacional de lucha contra la discriminación por Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género\, Es una fecha promovida por la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) desde 2004 para generar conciencia sobre la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual e identidad de género. Este día conmemora la eliminación de la homosexualidad de la lista de enfermedades mentales por parte de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) el 17 de mayo de 1990. \nPara aportar a la reflexión de esta fecha\, el sábado 17 de mayo veremos la película «Lilies not for me» (2024) (Los lirios no son para mi)\, dirigida por Will Seefried y protagonizada por Adrienne Pearce\, Aidan Scott\, Albert Pretorius. En 1920\, un novelista gay y su enfermero psiquiátrico estrechan lazos a través de una serie de ‘citas’ ordenadas por un médico\, mientras él cuenta la historia de una amistad que se descontroló cuando recurrieron a un arriesgado procedimiento para curarse de sus sentimientos mutuos. \nEsta película que transcurre en 1920 muestra el paradigma existente antes de 1990. Si bien hubo un cambio significativo\, estos avances no son suficientes\, ya que en la actualidad\, en más de setenta países\, las personas LGBTIQ+ sufren discriminación\, violencia y en algunos casos\, penas de cárcel o incluso la pena de muerte por su orientación sexual o identidad de género. \nPara participar\, completa el formulario en https://www.crisalidatucuman.org/2025/05/12/cine-debate-los-lirios-no-son-para-mi/

SUMMARY:Communion
DESCRIPTION:Communion or Queer Communion is a project dedicated to remembering and celebrating the lives of marginalised queer people who were murdered for living as themselves. The project is a rejection of the attempts to dismiss\, defile or simply erase LGBTQIA+ people. It started from a need to process on a personal level the emotional impact of news reports of hate crime murders that became increasingly frequent during the Covid pandemic. It has continued in part because of the engagement of those in the community who have reacted positively and encouraged me to continue. \nI believe that hate crime and the manner in which authority and society respond to it act to create an environment of fear\, as well as the sense that LGBTQIA+ lives are disposable and shameful. In spite of this queer people continue to live openly in defiance of attempts to control or police them into compliance. The works are meant to celebrate the simultaneously incandescent and ordinary lives that have been lost\, as well as mourning\, they also are a refusal of the tendency to place the inflicted pain\, death and violence at the centre of how we remember them.  \nThe project is also about visibility\, asking us who is deserving of commemoration and who we are content to erase\, sweep under the carpet. Many of these were create using photographs that were blurry or overly cropped\, and in some sense the accessibilty of photographs has dictated the choice of portraits.  \nThe project consists of a series of portraits that evoke a sense of the sacred through references to spiritual iconography to create spaces for contemplation and stillness. There are currently three forms of the project that are ongoing.  \nAn installation consisting of a 14 sided metal framework that holds 13 portraits that are hand painted on cast acrylic sheeting and act in a similar way to stained glass windows\, was first exhibited at the Spier Light Art Festival in 2021\, and later at the Kopano gathering.  This installation included portaits of Nonhlanhla Kunene; Sphamandla Khoza; Motshidi Pascalina (Pasca); Kirvan Fortuin; Sam Mbatha; Buhle Poswa; Lindokuhle Mapu; Nare Mphela; Bonang Gaelae; Lonwabo Jack; Phelokazi Mqathana; Lindokuhle Cele; Liyabona Mabishi. \nA series of watercolour paintings on paper that aim to act as a commemorative archive. The watercolour paintings allow for a more responsive archive and will continue to evolve and grow in response to the environment as much as is possible.

SUMMARY:Cine Trava
DESCRIPTION:El jueves 15 de mayo a las 20 hs organizamos un encuentro con motivo del Dia de lucha contra la discriminación por Orientación Sexual e Identidad de Género. En el encuentro veremos la película “Finlandia” y recordaremos la trayectoria y militancia de nuestras compañeras Soraya Corbalán y Mariana Alarcón. \nLa cita es en la biblioteca popular Crisálida en calle virgen de la Merced 431 de San Miguel de Tucumán \n*Finlandia* (2021). Marta es diseñadora y realiza un viaje a Oaxaca para documentarse. Su forma de apreciar la realidad y la visión de sí misma cambia cuando comienza a convivir con las muxes\, un colectivo que lucha por el reconocimiento de su género como un tipo más en la sociedad\, a la vez que combate con sus propias pasiones\, traumas y sentimientos escondidos. Un inesperado terremoto\, que sacude todas las emociones de la comunidad\, consigue finalmente que Marta y el espectador descubran el origen de su tormento.

SUMMARY:IDAHOBIT 2025 – Window Display Competition Entry Macedon Ranges
DESCRIPTION:We’re proud to take part in Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health’s IDAHOBIT Window Display Competition\, standing in solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities across the Macedon Ranges and beyond. \nIDAHOBIT—the International Day Against Homophobia\, Biphobia\, Intersex Discrimination and Transphobia—is held every year on May 17. It’s a day to raise awareness\, spark conversations\, and take a stand against discrimination in all its forms. Now also known as the Day Against LGBTQIA+ Discrimination\, it affirms the importance of inclusion for lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, intersex\, queer\, asexual and other diverse identities. \nAt HMS Community\, we’re committed to:\n🟣 Welcoming people of all genders\, sexual orientations\, backgrounds\, and abilities.\n🟣 Partnering with LGBTI+ organisations to ensure respectful and informed support.\n🟣 Promoting inclusive care through policy\, practice\, and lived experience—including within our leadership. \nOur display is a public commitment to equity\, inclusion\, and dignity for all. \nThanks to Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health for creating space to celebrate visibility and allyship in our region.
