QWOCMAP TRAINING PROGRAM
Each year, QUEER WOMEN OF COLOR MEDIA ARTS PROJECT offers 4 free video Training Workshops
for queer women of color. Our workshops serve
queer women of color - from teenagers to elders.
Every year, one workshop is offered to queer women
of a specific race/ethnicity. In 2005, we conducted
a workshop specifically for Queer Latinas. In 2006,
we conducted a workshop specifically for Queer
Women of African Descent. In 2007, we will conduct
a workshop specifically for Queer Asian Women.
In 2005, we also conducted a workshop specifically
for Butches & FTM Spectrum/Trans folks of Color.
We do this to deepen the dialogue and address issues
specific to each community's needs.
Most of our workshops are offered to queer women
of color of all ages. Once every 2 years, a workshop
is offered specifically to queer women of color 18 to
25 years old. This happens when we receive funding
from foundations specifically to support and nurture
the next generation of younger women.
