Can queerness be expressed spatially, and, if so, what does it look like and who gets to shape it? Is their queerness legible through their design or are they defined by the identities of their occupants? Join the Toronto Society of Architects for a special Pride edition of our IDEAS Forum where an exciting group of artists, designers, and architects explore questions of queer space in Toronto and beyond in a series of fast paced, fun and insightful pecha-kucha presentations (20 slides shown for 20 seconds each). The presentations will be followed by a moderated discussion and an audience Q&A.
