A couple of QPOC events in Toronto late February 2017 worth attending

Saturday February 25, 2017 - The Rude Collective QPOC Second Edition: Queer Love & Desire @ Interdependent Business Center. We wanted to give you more rudeness with Rude Second Edition Queer Art Showcase and Dance Party: Love & Desire. It will be a QPOC-centric, sex and body positive event. All art will revolve around the theme of decolonizing love and desire. Spoken word, burlesque and some other surprises are in store for you. How do you define love and what’s desirable to you? The DJs giving you beats and get you bumping & grinding on the dance floor are: - DJ Blackcat,https://soundcloud.com/dj-blackcat DJ Vaughan (Chantelle Findlay) https://soundcloud.com/its-vaughanand DJ K Afro-beats, Dancehall, Soca, World Beats, Vogue Beats, Dance, Reggaeton, NOTE: There will be a dress code in effect for the evening.
