Hidden in heaven n' home

For the third and final episode of, 'Dis Place, Rebekah and Sun bring light to the idea of heaven, home, and the state of being hidden, through places and placelessness. Focusing on folks who explore their own experiences of coming out, whether it is to themselves or community, Sun speaks with guest author Mohamed Abdulkarim Ali (he/him) and artist Melisse Watson (they/them) to guide us through a conversation about origins and transitional states of being and placemaking in a changing city.

In here, out here

Cohosts Rebekah and Sun explore multiple pathways to unravel what it's like to find yourself and community. Looking towards the past, present and future, they discuss countermapping and alternative routes to placemaking and belonging. With Toronto’s 20+ years of Black queer organizing, the two embark on a journey through examples of Black queer resistances and geographies such as 101 Dewson and Black Queer youth initiates, with interviews from Cofounder Tatiana Buttercup Ferguson and Telly of Domino Project/BQYC @ parkdale and visual artist Susan Blight. The two will be touching on how celebration and seeking a place despite placelessness and displacement, infer our relationship to needs and fulfillment persisting throughout this changing city, shared by intersecting identities.
