In this workshop, we'll be talking about things like makeup, clothes, and accessories and how those can affirm one's identity, while acknowledging the barriers that prevent some in the community from presenting their most authentic self.
If you can, wear an article of clothing, accessory, or outfit that validates your identity and get a chance to tell its story! This will be an affirming and celebratory space for however you present, no matter your identity.

This year, we are inviting Kama La Mackerel​, a multiracial trans artist based in Montreal, QB. Their work is grounded in the exploration of justice, love, healing, decoloniality and self- and collective-empowerment. Kama’s artistic practice spans across textile, visual, poetic, digital, and performative work; their work is at once narratological and theoretical, at once personal and political. They will be highlighting their most recent work, ZOM-FAM.

We're so excited for this year's Name Change Clinic, brought to you in partnership with the OUTreach program at the Jim Toy Community Center and OutLaws student group. This workshop will cover the basics of legal name changes, gender marker corrections, and current legal issues regarding transgender rights.

PLEASE NOTE:
This workshop will center on the process in Michigan. Every state's process to change your name and legal gender marker is different, and can vary within a state by county. Our presenters will be doing their best to answer any questions regarding the process broadly, but please keep this in mind as you attend.
