We are pleased to announce Q Talks, a new speaker series from Q Chamber showcasing remarkable journeys of LGBTQ+ trailblazers across various fields. Think TED Talks, but Out, Proud and Queer!
For the inaugural Q Talks event, we are thrilled to welcome two luminaries of Singapore's film and theatre scene: Glen Goei and Ivan Heng. Get inspired as they share their compelling life and career narratives and the intersection of their personal identities with their art. This event will be a fireside chat format with time for Q&A and networking.
Q Talks is more than just words - it's about making a difference. We are proud to announce that this event doubles as a fundraiser for Proud Spaces, Singapore's new LGBTQ+ community centre, providing safe and inclusive spaces for gathering, collaboration, networking and mutual support.
This is a fundraiser so tickets are available at Peatix on a sliding scale from $50 and up. Pay what you can. All proceeds will be directed to Proud Spaces.
