SSUC Celebrates Their 25th Affirming Anniversary with Ivan Coyote
January 21st, starting at 6:00 pm
Come celebrate our milestone affirming anniversary with a very special guest: Canadian writer, storyteller and musician Ivan Coyote! The evening will include a chance to peruse displays and learn about 2SLGBTQIA+ organizations and projects in the Edmonton area, enjoy some music from local 2SLGBTQIA+ artists, and the highlight of the evening - a presentation by Ivan Coyote with time for questions and answers.
Tickets are available through Eventbrite here. *Guests 13 and older are welcome to attend.
Ivan Coyote is a writer and storyteller. Born and raised in Whitehorse, Yukon, they are the author of thirteen books, the creator of four films, six stage shows, and three albums that combine storytelling with music.
Coyote's books have won the ReLit Award, been named a Stonewall Honour Book, been longlisted for Canada Reads, and been shortlisted for the Hilary Weston Prize for non-fiction, and the Governor General's Award for non-fiction twice. In 2017 Ivan was given an honorary Doctor of Laws from Simon Fraser University. Coyote's stories grapple with the complex and intensely personal topics of gender identity, family, class, and queer liberation, but always with a generous heart, and a quick wit. Ivan's stories manage to handle both the hilarious and the historical with reverence and compassion, and remind us all of our own fallible and imperfect humanity, while at the same time inspiring us to change the world. Ivan's 13th book, Care Of, was released in June 2021 by McClelland and Stewart.
