China Exchange London will host Belonging in Beijing: LGBTQ+ in China on 2 March 2017.
About Q-Space
Q-Space is an LGBTQ+ centre based in Beijing that presents itself as a “marker space”. The centre encourages artist and academic collaboration to better the lives of the communities. Their motto, “我们 can do it”, is a smart Chinese adaptation of the feminist slogan “Women Can Do it”. In Chinese, “我们” translations to “we” but its phonetics read “wŏmen”.
About the speaker
Dr Trude Sundberg is the co-founder of Q-Space and the Joint Coordinator of the University of Kent’s Q-Step Centre, where she is also a lecturer of Social Policy.
