Date: Thursday, August 27, 2020

Presented as part of Richmond Pride, the screening is offered as a meditation on queer intimacy and resistance.

Call For Submissions: What We Can't Say in English
社区征集：无法用英文说的词语

Do you speak a language other than English? Branscombe House artist-in-residence Lou Sheppard is looking for words from other languages that have no English equivalent. If you speak a language other than English and have a word you can’t find a translation into English for please contact Lou at lou@lousheppard.com.

Over the next few months the artist will gather these words, their attempted translations and the contributor’s names, and create a podcast and poster series for the City of Richmond.
