[DISCUSSION] File this intriguing Saturday afternoon forum under the kind of conversations we should be having more, about race, gender, class and the heavy weight of identity in a world not yet equipped for social liberty. The Intersection Identities panel at Burchfield Penney Art Center is hosted by recent high school graduate Jayden McClam, a nonbinary, black activist, witch, and prison abolitionist set to enter Howard University in the fall; Gysai Curry, a recent Buff State communications grad by way of Long Beach, California by way of Jamaica who identifies as both gay and bisexual, and Open Buffalo’s economic and climate justice coordinator Harper Bishop, who has been organizing around gender and race issues for close to 10 years. McClam, Curry, and Bishop will share their experiences and philosophies on navigating a world that is not yet ready to hold them, and what can be done about it going forward.
