For our next film night fundraiser, we’ll be showing ‘Put this on the {Map}’, a documentary about a generation of young people reteaching gender and sexuality. Fed up with a lack of queer visibility, twenty-six young people in Seattle’s eastside suburbs weave together this ground-breaking narrative of shifting identities and a quest for social change. From getting beat-up in a schoolyard to being picked up as a runaway, queer youth exercise courage daily. PUT THIS ON THE {MAP} is an intimate invitation into their stories of social isolation and violence, fearlessness and liberation.

There will be a bar with drinks and refreshments available.

All money raised will go towards our trans youth support work.

Book tickets here.

For the 2nd year running, Gendered Intelligence is hosting an art auction to raise money for our work improving the lives of young trans people.

Our art auction has proved to be a very successful event, last year raising £1500 for Gendered Intelligence trans youth.

Hopefully, with your support, we can make the second year into an even more fantastic fundraising effort that will go towards furthering the GI cause!

If you’ve wanted to contribute to Gendered Intelligence but haven’t had the funds or the time to donate, consider donating your artwork for our Art Auction!

We’re looking for anything artists are willing to submit - whether they be canvas paintings, photographic prints, sculptures, jewellery, etc. We encourage a diverse range of artwork - whether you’re a professional artist or you enjoy art as a casual hobby, we want your submissions! 

The art auction will run alongside our annual holiday party on 15th December to celebrate all the work we’ve done in 2012.

We’re definitely interested in submissions from trans and gender variant artists, but if you’re an ally who’d like to submit to show your support, please do get in touch with us. 

Please contact us to get involved! Or, if you’re not an artist, please repost this widely to your artistic friends and communities!

When:

Thursday 25th October. Bar opens at 6.30pm, film starts at 7pm. (Book tickets)

Where:

Room T1-20 Tower Building 
London Metropolitan University, 
166-220 Holloway Road, 
London N7 8DB (Map) 

This documentary explores intersex issues in athletics, telling the story of Indian runner Santhi Soundarajan, who failed a ‘gender verification test’ in the Asian Games at Doha in 2006. This is a rare opportunity to see this film which has been screened at many queer film festivals around the world. 

This is a fundraiser for Gendered Intelligence, with all money from tickets and refreshments going towards our trans youth support work.

Director Payoshni Mitra says: “I made this film because I wanted Santhi Soundarajan’s voice to be heard by people all over the world. It was shot by me with assistance from my mother with a basic handycam. However, the film that has been shown in various Queer film festivals today, has managed to draw people’s attention to one of the most under-researched areas of sport. I am glad that Gendered Intelligence is screening this film and I hope the film will at least make the audience think!”

Followed by a post-screening discussion. Refreshments will be available, with the bar open before and after the screening.

Tickets:

Book in advance - £6 or £4 concessions.

On the door - £6.50 or £4.50 concessions.
