Bi+ Flag Making for LGBT+ History Month

Happy LGBT+ History Month!

Celebrate this awareness month in a validating, creative space for bi+ people to come together, reflect on our history and what being bisexual means for you, share experiences and learn more — all while making fabulous new bi besties.

Who is this for

This event is for anyone who identifies within the bi+ spectrum (of attraction to multiple genders) and wants to grow their bi-specific community, whatever your label or gender identity, and is trans inclusive. No artistic skills required!

What to expect

• We will be discussing some key moments in bi history.

• Then reflecting on what your bisexuality means to you today and creating a personalised bi+ flag to take away that celebrates your unique self.

• There will be plenty of crafting materials, plus optional conversational prompts to spark inspiration and connection.

• Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to show off your creations in a sharing circle, while cementing new friendships.

See you there!

Info: Introduction on why LGBT+ History Month is so important for bi+ people, sharing some key moments in our history, including around the creation of the bisexual flag. We will explore the importance of bi+ community, as well as outlining the agenda and creative project with notes on inclusivity and accessibility (folks are welcome to step outside at any point and participate as much or little in the activities). There will also be sticky labels for you to add your name and pronouns.

Info: Moving into the reflective and therapeutic crafting part of the session, your challenge will be to create your own personalised bi+ flag (with bi and pan colours available). You can annotate it with words and collages about what being bi+ means to you, to celebrate how there is no one way to be bisexual — all are valid! There will be bi-themed prompts and questions to spark your creative juices. Plus, plenty of crafting materials, from magazines to tissue paper, glitter, stickers and more. You are welcome to do this solo or have a natter as your craft (and can take a break at any time).

Info: Light snacks will be provided, and you’ll have the opportunity to continue conversations and forge new friendships to take away with you.

Info: Time to come together and share the inspiration behind your flags, supporting each other with any of the common themes that come up — celebrating yourself is highly encouraged!
