The IBPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ Networks are excited to continue our book & media club into the spring and summer!

June 11: The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer (please source your own copy)
July 9: I Will be a Hummingbird - Wangari Maathai clip from dirt! the movie; If you Flush a Goldfish chapter from How Far the Light Reaches by Sabrina Imbler; and After 38 Attacks on Art, Climate Protestors Have Fallen into Big Oil's Trap article by Giovanni Aloi

About Our Book and Media Club

Beyond the Margins seeks to create a supportive intersectional space focused on community building in the arts, culture, and heritage sector. This growth-oriented network provides a space to learn from one another and build solidarity amongst queer and IBPOC folks through the exploration of diverse media.

Feel free to come for one session, or join us for them all! Haven't had a chance to listen/read the media? You are always welcome to still join us for conversation! Please get in touch if you need assistance in accessing the media.

Hosting joint network events is intended as a way to celebrate and hold space for intersectionalities of identity and fill gaps in this type of programming – all who identify as IBPOC and/or 2SLGBTQIA+ are welcome!

We are continually exploring ways to make this club as accessible as possible, so you are interested in joining but concerned about accessibility, please get in touch with our coordinators at bcma@museum.bc.ca. Our coordinators are open to recording voice notes of written text, visually describing video or images, and other ways to help everyone engage with the media.
