On 27 April 2024, 6-7 pm, ASEAN SOGIE CAUCUS, in collaboration with Non-Binary Thailand and SEA Junction, held the “Launch of ASEAN Queer Imaginings Volume 2” at SEA Junction, 4th floor, BACC
ASEAN Queer Imaginings Volume 2 is the collection of thought leadership articles, artwork and poems from queer activists from across Southeast Asia. Together with ASEAN SOGIE CAUCUS and Non-Binary Thailand, the book explores LGBTQIAN+ issues and the practices of advocacy and promises to contribute to meaningful discussions in our community.
Together, the launch of the book featured a panel discussion with a contributor and reviewer of the book & Drag King Performance at the end. The event was joined by a number of human rights activists across Southeast Asia working for the inclusion of SOGIESC into the human rights work in ASEAN and to amplify the voices of the marginalized LGBTQIAN+ communities in Southeast Asia.
