We are teaming up with Emergence of Heart to host an event called ‘Regeneration: A Global Eco Drag Show’ at our center on February 17th, 2023 from 6:00pm-9:00pm.
The show Regeneration travels around the globe spotlighting drag performers, who share cultural, environmental, queer, decolonial visions of a future that works for all life based on their own country’s history of resistance and current reality. The show highlights the way colonialism affected both land and people, and opens up a dialogue about our shared future. Everyone attending has the opportunity to share how they are being part of making a world that works for all life. Together we co-create a powerful collective emergent narrative of a global movement
While the latter half of this event will be the virtual screening of the Regeneration drag show in our ballroom (from 7:30pm-9:00pm), the first half will be a unique and interactive experience for the LGBTQIA+ community of Philadelphia (6:00pm-7:30pm).
WWCC will be hosting a free event in our lobby that will include:
-Refreshments
-A clothing swap
-Eco-friendly vendors
-potential opportunities to discuss issues of colonialism, the climate crisis and a regenerative future with local drag performers of first-generation and immigrant experience
