Once upon a Pride: Tales from the Queendom

Once upon a pride, we bring the children along with us as we venture into the beautiful stories of queer lives.

Queens have come near and far to make this a reality and so we proudly present: Tales from the Queendom. Find us at the Kalinga Day Care Center, Area 1, UP Diliman, Quezon City on 19-20 June 2023.

Mapping Pride: Call for Stories and Spaces

The spaces we take up are a testament to our existence. As we show the intersection of physical spaces and our lived experiences, we tell the world: we have been here; we will always be here; and we will continue to exist.

In celebration of Pride Month, let us map our experiences, and tell the world of the places in time where we felt safe, accepted, loved, and all the messy things in between – the places that have genuinely given us a sense of pride.

Taking inspiration from Queering the Map, you may share your lived experiences of pride in the spaces you took up in UP Diliman:
