Join us as we celebrate the official launch of the Rooted Resilience Project! This event brings together 2SLGBTQIA+ artists, creatives, and culture-makers from Western Massachusetts for a night of live performances, conversation, and connection. 

Come experience the voices and work of the creatives featured in our first season, explore artist and resource tables, and celebrate the power of sharing and preserving intersectional narratives. Together, we’ll honor the resilience and brilliance of our community while looking ahead to the stories we’ll continue to uplift through this multi-part project.
