The Corner - Pride Edition!

The Corner - Pride Edition!

Join L-A It's Happening Queer for a special edition of Lewiston's live storytelling event, The Corner. Our special Pride theme is "There All Along." What happens when something was there all along?

Think of a time when you've felt seen, for better or worse. What was happening? Who recognized you? What does it mean to be visible?

This theme also talks about permanence and strength over time. Tell us about a time when you realized that you weren't alone, that you were part of a bigger story.

As always, take our theme descriptions as a starting point, but don't let them limit you. We invite stories that invert this theme in creative ways and go in unexpected directions.

This event is FREE for anyone to attend and/or speak!
