VFD x MAQUIS PRESENT: A QUEER RESISTANCE FUNDRAISER.
VFD is a space to imagine, create and take action.
It is place to make transgressive imagery, a home to the outlaw rebel visionary and a space to discuss the critical alteration of the oppressive status quo.
VFD has collaborated with MAQUIS to host this event that will help fund our regular queer meet-ups Transmissions.

RESPECT YOURSELF AND EVERYONE ELSE.
GLORIFY ALL BODIES FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL BEAUTY AND POWER.

ALWAYS ESTABLISH POSITIVE CONSENT ...IT’S HOT!
REMEMBER TO FREQUENTLY TELL YOUR FRIENDS YOU LOVE THEM.
