Standard Talks x FOR ALL QUEENS!
Standard Talks x FOR ALL QUEENS!
To open AfroPride Week , The Standard, Brussels invites FORALLQUEENS! for a panel talk on self-knowledge and self-actualization.
This opening moment sets the tone. Not a traditional panel, but an open conversation. Think shared experiences, real talk and a kiki type of energy where voices meet, stories flow and the room becomes part of it. Two people in dialogue, on equal ground, letting the conversation go where it needs to go.
Mykki Blanco and Andy Lorbi Ishiringo come together in Brussels, bringing different paths, perspectives and lived experiences into one conversation.
Pride here moves beyond celebration. It becomes a space to connect, to be seen and to show up exactly as you are.
And when the conversation fades, the music takes over with a Perforamtive DJ set by Mykki Blanco.Wednesday, May 13 - from 7pm to 12am.
Double Standard
Talk : 7pm – 9pm
DJ set : 9pm – 12am
