Queer Asia

Queer Asia With over 5 years of run-up and annual events, our 2020 edition of ‘Q***r’ Asia takes as its theme ‘Reclaiming Radical Now’.

Our COVID-19 Community Support Screenings are available here - https://bit.ly/308R6XI. We are a network of q***r identifying scholars, activists and artists, that aims to provides a platform for inter-Asia collaboration, dialogue and research on issues affecting people who self-identify as LGBTQ or belong to other non-normative sexualities and gender identities in Asia, or Asian diasporas and beyond. We are currently housed at SOAS, University of London, world's leading institution in the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. We organised the first ever global conference on LGBT/Q***r issues in Asia. The conference – QA16 – was a very successful event, attended by over 500 people from over 15 different countries including South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Iraq, Lebanon, China, Singapore, Mongolia. QA17 is set to be even bigger this year as the annual conference is set to coincide with the 50th Anniversary of same-sex decriminalisation in the UK and the centenary of SOAS. The theme of the conference this year is Desire, Decolonisation and Decriminalisation. We also have a list of exciting run-up events to the Conference in June, 2017.

How do we hold each other across cultures, across time, and across space, and across our genders? Where is the space for men to be held in tenderness, for trans and q***r people to search for communities, and for spaces in which to reflect and recharge?

This special programme is a collaboration between the UK Asian Film Festival, Q***r Asia, and Q***r East, and brings together three films from India, Malaysia, and Indonesia with expert LGBTQ+ therapy practitioners, academics, and organisational professionals to engage with the complexity of mental health amongst q***r Asian communities.

Audiences are invited to watch, listen, and participate alongside one another in building a space for a deep conversation on q***r mental health. Audiences are invited to stay on for a fundraising mixer after the programme raising support for working to support trans and q***r communities.

⚡Panel speakers: Prof. Doyin Atewologun (Delta Alpha Psi), Prof. Dinesh Bhugra CBE (King’s College London), Sanjay Kumar (Head of Conselling Services, NAZ Foundation). Conversation moderated by: Ilina Logani

🌱Curatorial Team: Dr. J. Daniel Luther, Ragil Huda, Yi Wang, Dr. Jo Hemlatha, Ilina Logani, with special thanks to Dr Eva C-Y Li.

📍Location: King’s College London, Bush House (Room – SE 1.05), 30 Aldwych, London – WC2B 4BG

🗓️7th May 2026, 6 pm onwards

Free tickets but registration required (link in bio/on QA website) 💥
