+ 80 people were in attendance for the Examining Accessibility in Queer Nightlife Panel last night at @qncc.bk - this project took almost 2 years of work. Very proud of what we achieved last night, incredibly powerful and vulnerable conversations from people who love nightlife, and see potential for a more inclusive community. S/O to @stephaniefarmer_ for helping make the space work for all of us & @swamp_witch__ for being the best partner in crime. That being said, we hope this is the beginning of an ongoing conversation that results in action, big or small. Everyone involved in this panel is committed to be a resource for consultation, questions and ideas to make your events more accessible. Until next time ✌🏾💞

On Tuesday, September 22, we’ll be hosting a free discussion of accessibility in queer underground nightlife spaces. The event will bring together DJs, organizers, and accessibility advocates for a conversation about inclusion and accessibility in queer DIY cultural spaces. See the information on the slides for details about the panels. A few notes on accessibility details for the event: All talks will be hosted on our fully accessible first floor. 2 ASL interpreters will be provided by All Hands in Motion. Live captioning will be provided. Light food and refreshments will be served, remaining mindful of potential allergens Masks will be made available at the entrance and masking will be encouraged. Additionally, air filtration systems will be installed for the event. QNCC currently has no permanent bathroom facilities on its first floor, but we will have an accessible portable toilet on site (62″ × 62″). Cars will be able to pull up to *roughly* 20 feet from the building’s entrance. The closest train to QNCC is the Atlantic L Train. It is three blocks away from QNCC. The C Train at Liberty Avenue is five blocks away from QNCC. The A Train at Broadway Junction is approximately 10 blocks away, but requires using the LIRR underpass at Atlantic Avenue. Please note that nearby MTA subway stations are not ADA accessible. There is a Citi Bike station across from QNCC at Hinsdale and Glenmore Avenues.
