DESCRIPTION:The UO Women's Center and LGBT Education and Support Services p
 roudly presents the 26th annual OUT / LOUD Queer and Trans Performance Fes
 t!\n\nWe will have FREE FOOD and crafts (6-7pm)\, line-dancing (7-8pm)\, a
 nd a DJ mix with social dancing (8-9pm) from beloved local instructors/ent
 ertainers.\n\nOUT / LOUD is a safer space for those in the 2SLGBTQ+ commun
 ity to come together in radical joy and solidarity. This event centers 2SL
 GBTQ+ individuals and offers a space where\, for a moment\, queer joy and 
 radical community takes precedence over anything else. From its origins as
  a lesbian musical festival\, OUT / LOUD has evolved to reflect various th
 emes that seek to pay homage to Eugene's queer history\, strengthen relati
 onships within our present community\, and empower future generations of 2
 SLGBTQ+ individuals.\n\nOur theme for this year's event is Power in Softne
 ss. This theme is rooted in the bridge between two extremes of existence. 
 It embraces the newness in one’s own becoming while simultaneously refle
 cting a generational steadiness in queer history and legacy. Our lives are
  not tragedies. We come together to laugh\, cheer\, and LIVE in the vastne
 ss of who we are. We have been here\, we are here\, and we will continue t
 o be here. This serene power recognizes 2SLGBTQ+ stories and lives – not
  inherently as a rebellion – but a withstanding chronicle of love.\n\nTh
 is year's OUT / LOUD animal takes the form of a jellyfish. Water\, the jel
 lyfish's natural habitat\, represents intuition\, dreams\, and visions. It
  represents the depths of the unconscious mind\, cycles of unity with natu
 re\, and the flow of energy – movement of seasons and of life. Water tea
 ches us that existence is cyclical. It shows us the limitlessness of all t
 hings. Surviving over 500 million years\, Jellyfish are ancient. Despite t
 heir gelatinous demeanor\, they are a symbolic creature that has thrived i
 n adverse environments\, willing to fight for as long as it takes to survi
 ve. They remind us to be whimsical\, magnificent\, and radically tenacious

 y\, and legacy! Free admission and open to the community.\n\n- The WC and
