—————————————————————-
SHEER QUEER Fest occurs on the occupied and unceded lands of the Wampanoag tribes in a city deeply connected to the roots of the settler colonial myths perpetuated in order to build a new country through genocide and slavery. We encourage those living in the New England area to recognize this history, unlearn the fictions taught to us in our youth, and participate in National Day of Mourning, organized by UAINE (held every fourth Thursday of Nov. in Plymouth).

Respect the spaces and the folx around you. No alcohol is allowed in any of the spaces so please help keep the shows a sober space, we are renting spaces and want to keep a good relationship with this spaces so we can continue organizing with them. Smoking is also not allowed in the spaces so please go outside. No cops. No terfs. No boneheads.

**DAY 1 @ TBD**
This space is not wheelchair accessible.

**DAY 2 @ The DC**
The Democracy Center is partially wheelchair accessible, no accessible bathroom on site. The Mandela, Parks, and Chavez rooms are accessible, but the Library is not. Wheelchair users are welcome to use the accessible restroom at Daedalus while we plan our improvements for bathroom accessibility. To reach that bathroom, exit the ramp and turn left on Bow St, at the next building (Daedalus) use their accessible entrance and their restroom will be on the right.

More information at: democracycenter.org/accessibility.
Contact [email protected] or 617-492-8855 as needed.

The DC strives to provide a safe(r) space for all ages, drug free benefit shows with an emphasis on DIY ethics. We ask that everyone who attends and plays here be aware of the language they use and how it might affect others; racist, sexist, heterosexist, transphobic, ableist, or otherwise oppressive attitudes are not welcome. Please hold each other accountable so that all who come to the DC feel supported and
welcome.

**DAY 3 @ CCC**
Gym is wheelchair accessible but restrooms in building are not. We’re looking into what are the options immediately around the area.

Sheer Queer Fest is an annual queer music fest in Boston. We seek to showcase the voices and work of queer folk who create loud, aggressive, experimental, and angry music that challenge racism, transphobia, ableism, classism, xenophobia, misogyny, and other forms of oppression.

Funds raised by this fest are used to support our community members and the efforts by activists or organizations to address the issues our intersecting communities face. We hope to build a community centered in radical action to reclaim space in radical/DIY spaces to celebrate all forms of queerness.
