International Celebrate Bisexuality Day, also known as Bi Visibility Day, is on Saturday 23 September 2017.
We are planning some things for Nottingham!
3pm-5pm, subject to weather: Mini-festival with info, spoken word and maybe music, at Speakers’ Corner by the Cloughie statue just off the Old Market Square, combined with giving out flyers to inform people about local bi stuff.
6pm-9pm: BiTalkia panel discussion and social, at the Friends’ Meeting House on Clarendon St, NG1 5JD. This is a lovely venue which is fully wheelchair accessible. The panel will take questions either from the audience, or in advance, on anything to do with bisexuality and bi communities. The panel will only be for an hour or so, and there will be time to chat as well. All bi-friendly people are welcome – you don’t have to be bi yourself.
Save the date!
More details to come!
We would love to hear from people who’d like to contribute and be part of this, in a little way or a big way, public or behind the scenes.
Here are some possible ways you could take part:
- Help to set up for the mini-fest, or just come and watch and be a supportive presence.
- Bring rainbow, bi or pan flags to decorate Speakers’ Corner or the evening venue.
- At the mini-fest, share some thoughts about bisexuality or related things, or read a poem or sing a song.
- Give out flyers in a friendly way to passers-by.
- Help to set up the room for the evening, e.g. move chairs & tables, hang up flags.
- Make tea or coffee.
- Chip in some money to help pay for the room. We’ll ask everyone to put in something, from say 10p if you’re skint to maybe £10 if you’re well-off and want to support future similar events.
- Offer to shop for tea, coffee, milk etc.
- Bring cake or snacks.
- Help to welcome newcomers / be friendly to everyone.
- Offer to be on the panel (though we won’t say yes to everyone for that, e.g. we don’t want it to be 100% white people).
- Ask a question for the panel (on the spot, or in writing).
- Help to clear up at the end, e.g. washing-up or moving chairs and tables.
- Something else!
