We are very excited to let you know that Robyn Ochs, American bi+ activist and icon, is coming to Amsterdam this summer! Bi+ Nederland will work together with the Shakespeare Club during Amsterdam Pride to create a special event at the H’Art Museum in Amsterdam on Wednesday July 30th. There Robyn will give a presentation and workshop about ‘Getting Bi: Challenging Bi+ Phobia and Bi+ Erasure & Creating a Culture of Inclusion.’ What does it mean to identify as bi+ (bisexual, pansexual, fluid, etc.)? What are challenges to recognizing and understanding bisexuality and other non-binary sexualities; the largest yet often-overlooked segment of the LGBTQIA+ community?
No matter how you identify, come to this engaging and interactive program if you are looking for tools for challenging ignorance, bi+ phobia, and bi+ erasure and finding bi+ joy.
Robyn Ochs is a speaker, grassroots activist, and editor of Bi Women Quarterly and two anthologies: the 42-country collection Getting Bi: Voices of Bisexuals Around the World and RECOGNIZE: The Voices of Bisexual Men. An advocate for the rights of people of ALL orientations and genders to live safely, openly and with full access and opportunity, Robyn’s work focuses on increasing awareness and understanding of complex identities and mobilizing people to be powerful allies to one another within and across identities and social movements, with special interest in bi+ health, the experiences of bi+ people in the workplace, bi+ elders, the global bi+ movement, and bi and LGBTQIA+ youth. Robyn was named by Teen Vogue as one of “9 Bisexual Women Who are Making History.”
