About this Event

Outlaws in Leather: How Leather Dykes and Women Shaped NYC Culture

Our panelists explore how they refused to remain on the margins of leather culture. We'll discuss how Leather dykes and women claimed space, forged their own paths, creating new traditions and community building that honored leather in their own way while revolutionizing the Leather community and expanding what it meant to be Leather in NYC.

How did Leather dykes and women create new ways of embodying Leather culture, Leather sexuality, and Leather identities that continue to shape our current scene today?

Come discuss and then create a leather craft to take home after.
