Lesson plan
Queeruption
Queeruption (a compound/portmanteau/blend word of queer and eruption) is an annual international queercore festival and gathering started in 1998 where alternative, radical, and disenfranchised queers can exchange information, network, organize, inspire and get inspired, self-represent, and challenge mainstream society with do-it-yourself ideas and ethics. Shows featuring queer punk bands, performance artists, and other entertainment are put on at night, while workshops and demonstrations take place during the day. Queeruption generally takes place in a different city in a different country every year. It has contributed to anarcha-queer movements. The groups that organize each event and even within the same city may have disagreements about how aspects should represent politics including queer safe spaces.
