The Queerness of Fat Activism Show and Tell in London

I'm going to do a little show and tell of the presentation I gave in Toronto in June. This will be a sit-round-the-table affair, rather than me standing at a lectern in front of a packed room. There won't be a panel or a dance afterwards, but there will be lots of time for talking about this stuff and asking questions. It's part of The Weigh In, a monthly get-together for fat activists that takes place at a vegan community café in London.

The presentation is called The Queerness of Fat Activism, and it's about queer people as well as how qualities associated with queerness can illuminate fat activism.

The Weigh In – London's monthly fat activist social

The Weigh In is a new fat activist social space in London. Taking place at the Pogo Café every third Thursday of the month, its organiser Kay Hyatt hopes that it'll be a hang-out kind of affair, where people can drop in as they like, and where fat activists can meet each other and talk and do stuff in real life.

The Pogo is an anarchist vegan café in Hackney, not far from public transport and with street parking nearby. It has a ramp at the entrance, plenty of seating, and level access to the loo. The Weigh In will share the café with other users. People of all sizes are welcome to The Weigh In, it's free to attend, and there will be affordable food and drink available to buy.

The first Weigh In takes place on Thursday 19 April in the evening.
