He is as offbeat as he is handsome\, using humor in his performances to entertain audiences while making them wonder\, “what does cis mean again?” You can find Osmo at his new drag-improv show ‘Whose Drag is it Anyway?’ on October 18 at Congress Coffee\, every other month at the Ship and Anchor\, or co-hosting the ‘HoliGAY Weekends’ show every long weekend Saturday at The Attic. He’s even on Instagram! @cosmonautbinary \nDogiichow is the Campy and equally Trampy sensation\, they have been gracing stages and entertaining audiences across Alberta and beyond. Best known for their custom if slightly questionable fashion sense. When they are not being a drag jester for crowds of barking fans they can be found accepting challenges of hot dog eating contests\, watching cheesy cult classic b-movies and judging arm wrestling contests. Their drag is a celebration of their two spirit indigiqueer identity and a love of entertaining. Where will their journey take them next? Space! Probably not but you’ll just have to stay tuned. \nSkylar Kay is an emerging writer from Calgary\, AB. She has an interest in Japanese literature\, specifically haiku\, and has been pursuing this interest in her poetry since 2016. In addition to being a haiku enthusiast in creative writing\, Skylar also participates in the academic side of Japanese literature\, seeing publication in both academic and literary journals. \nBret Crowle is a multi-genre creator who has spent the last year singing\, dancing\, playing pretend\, and editing her forthcoming debut poetry collection for Frontenac House. The collection\, Jesus is a Voyeur\, will be making its way to you this October. When not creating\, she can be found looking for faces in the clouds\, listening to the same albums over and over again\, and participating in the deeply healing art of noisemaking. \nKevin Allen is a fourth-generation Calgarian who has been documenting and profiling queer people and events for 30+ years. Kevin started the Calgary Gay History Project in 2012 to uncover and preserve stories from Calgary’s 2SLGBTQ+ past (www.calgarygayhistory.ca). The Project has achieved national recognition and led to the award-winning documentary film: Gross Indecency: The Everett Klippert Story; and the best-selling book Our Past Matters: Stories of Gay Calgary. Additionally\, Kevin works as a senior election administrator for both Elections Canada and Elections Alberta.

What does that mean? It means we work towards the centre and honour the experience and knowledge of those who are Land Protectors and identify ways to uphold their position in so-called Canada. \nWhen the opportunity at CommunityWise Resource Centre came up to activate the space for the 2STQBIPOC community\, the notion of developing a series of gatherings came up. Liminal Landing is an opportunity for those who identify as part of the community to retreat together and build stronger relations that are focused on issues that centre our experience. \nMy [Tyson] queer identity can often feel uncertain\, ambiguous a relentless place of transition(s). It has felt like a liminal space – unknown. Gratefully I’ve landed on optimism\, hope and a sense of liberation in the community. Liminal Landing is a space on your journey\, no matter where you’re whether it’s the in-between\, at your destination or just beginning\, the ‘landing’ is a moment to stop\, reflect and build community. \nWith our time together\, you can drop in be part of the conversation\, create\, play and learn. \nWhat is ‘The Place’?\nThe Place is an accessible\, free\, and collaboratively shared space within CommunityWise. It is QTBIPOC-led. Liminal Landing is one of many opportunities to connect the community at the place. To activate your own idea or learn more here. \nFacilitators\nPriscilla Cherry (Elle/She/Her) \nTrinidadian-Canadian\, Priscilla Cherry\, is a free-spirited storyteller as well as a peer support specialist with a passion for people and creative collaborations with equally uplifting energies.

Priscilla is a programmer with CJSW 90.9 FM and CKUA 93.7 FM\, the in-game host for Calgary Surge Basketball\, and a lead organizer and board member at large with TEDxYYC. Most recently\, Priscilla launched her childhood dream of having a live interactive talk show and in April 2023\, The Oratory was born. Priscilla firmly believes in the art of hosting; the power of sharing our lived experiences and personal narratives; and that everyone has something to share that someone else could learn from\, relate to or at the very least be curious about. \nTyson Bankert (He/Him) \nTyson is a community developer; his personal slogan is to edify others\, befriend the lonely and promote justice! Tyson is grateful to have his vocation match his values and able to bring people together through the art of facilitation.
