New Ho Queen is a collective of queer Asian artists in Toronto with expertise in varying fields of design, performance, film, fashion and art. Since 2018, they have aimed to create safer event and party spaces for queer and trans Asians to connect and celebrate Asian identities. Learn more about New Ho Queen (external link) 

What to expect

In this virtual spotlight, co-hosted by the Asian Faculty and Staff Community Network and Positive Space Faculty and Staff Network, we’ll engage in a Q+A with New Ho Queen co-directors Patrick Salvani and Raphael Sanchez. We’ll discuss the ways that space and community are being fostered for queer Asian pride and joy.

Registration is required.
