La Familia de Stanford is hosting the Queer Latino Youth Conference 2012 for high school and college students to promote visibility, activism, and advancement for LGBTQ-identified Latinos/as. The theme will be "Expressing Identity Through Art and Activism." La Familia has be working with other groups to bring artists to speak, perform, and host workshops. The conference will stimulate discourse with regard to the intersection of LGBTQ/latino/a identity, will address challenges specific to this demographic, and will explore and celebrate modes of expressing this identity through activism, performance and writing, literature and theory, and health and relationships. Our keynote speaker, Adelina Anthony, is a critically acclaimed and award winning Xicana lesbian multi-disciplinary artist, hailing originally from San Antonio, Tejas. The themes in her works address colonization, feminism, trauma, memory, gender, race/ ethnicity, sexuality, in/migration, health, land/environment, and issues generally affecting the lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender/two-spirited communities. Our workshops will fall under the general four themes of our conference: activism, performance and writing, literature and theory, and health and relationships. To see the description of our workshops please visit our website: familia.stanford.edu.
The Queer Latino Youth Conference will be held on April 21, 2012 from 9:30 am to 6:00pm at Stanford University.
