InQueery Live: Stories, Design, Magick & Social Change

 

 Kick off River City Pride Weekend with InQueery, Peoria Proud’s educational series, featuring a thought-provoking presentation by Dr. Theresa Jean Tanenbaum (“Tess”).
This free community event explores how storytelling, design, activism, and even magick can challenge oppression and inspire meaningful social change. Drawing from her lived experience as a transgender woman, multidisciplinary artist, scholar, and activist, Dr. Tanenbaum examines the power of the stories we tell—and how they can reshape the world around us. Through examples from live-action roleplaying, tabletop games, popular media, psychology, design, and queer theory, this engaging presentation offers a unique perspective on identity, community, and transformation.
