In Bloom
If a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, would Mr. Binh's community treat him in the same way once they learn the truth about his partner and him?

Roleplay
A television advertisement film-set, an actress, a shampoo product, a promise, a strange devil, a pill—there was something insidious in the bamboo bush, it overwhelms the atmosphere, waiting to come out with the dark.

Gender Affirming Alterations with Noel Guetti, hosted by the Cable Makerspace
Date: Saturday, May 4th
Time: 10 am - 3 pm
Location: Free Market and Cable Makerspace
Pre-register, Limit 8
The goal of this day-long workshop is to build skills for understanding and changing our clothing to give us greater autonomy and opportunity for self expression. In the morning, we’ll look at garments that do (and don’t!) fit us well, identify fit/fabric/color qualities that make us feel good, and learn how to look for those qualities and assess whether a piece of clothing will give that feeling. In the afternoon, we’ll learn and practice basic alteration techniques for making affirming changes to our existing garments. Basic sewing skills helpful, but absolutely not required! A private space for trying on clothing will be available, and any level of participation in conversations about fit is welcome, from modeling your garment for the group, to listening and taking notes for looking at your clothes at home. Lunch will be provided!
About the facilitator: noel works with cloth. cloth as mirror, cloth as guide, cloth as protection, cloth as anchor, cloth as means of knowing oneself. cloth as architecture, cloth as home. cloth as relationship. cloth as ecological member. cloth as metaphor, cloth as poetry, cloth as crystallized thought. cloth as tactile, sensual interaction. cloth as exploration of beauty. cloth as vessel for history. cloth as measure of time. cloth as storyteller. cloth as its own self.
noel guetti is a material philosopher and historically-informed fine cloth weaver who works primarily in the lineage of eighteenth- to nineteenth-century weaving techniques. his weaving and clothing making practice prioritizes specific individual relationships to materials and garments as a scaffolding for trans and queer body sovereignty.

Lavender Graduation
Date: Wednesday, May 8th
Time: 6 pm
Nominate students, faculty, and staff for awards or to be our commencement speaker at dartgo.org/LavenderNoms
Register to attend the event at dartgo.org/LavenderRSVP
Food provided.
Lavender Graduation is one of the annual cornerstone events of Dartmouth Pride. It is a ceremony conducted nationwide on various campuses that celebrates and acknowledges the contributions of LGBTQIA+ seniors to their higher education institutions. The ceremony originated in 1995 when Dr. Ronni Sanlo, a Jewish lesbian, was denied the opportunity to attend the graduations of her biological children because of her sexual orientation. Encouraged by the Dean of Students and the University of Michigan, Dr. Sanlo designed the first Lavender Graduation to create space for LGBTQIA+ students and faculty.
At Dartmouth, we continue this tradition annually in an effort to honor this important LGBTQIA+ history and recognize the accomplishments of our LGBTQIA+ students. This event includes a short speaking program, the delivery of awards, and an opportunity for graduating students to be individually recognized and awarded a rainbow tassel to wear at graduation. Graduating students are highly encouraged to register to ensure they receive a tassel.

Love Lies Bleeding presented by HOP Films
Date: Saturday, May 11th
Time: 7 PM
Location: Loew Auditorium
Kristen Stewart and her bodybuilder girlfriend attempt to escape her seedy criminal family (Ed Harris, Dave Franco) in this sexy, kinetic tale of romance on the run.
From A24 Films and director Rose Glass (Saint Maud) comes an electric new love story about reclusive gym manager Lou (Kristen Stewart), who falls hard for ambitious bodybuilder Jackie (Katy O'Brian) headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. The hitch? Their passionate romance comes in the wake of Lou's criminal family (a seedy Ed Harris and abusive Dave Franco) and unleashes a murderous rampage. Eschewing traditional film noir tropes, Glass only gets bolder with each surreal twist and the result is a sexy, brutal, violent, kinetic piece of filmmaking.

Sing Sing presented by HOP Films
Date: Saturday, May 24th
Time: 7 PM
Location: Loew Auditorium
Colman Domingo ('Rustin') anchors the tender, riveting story of a prison theatrical troupe who finds deep beauty in an effort to make art for art's sake. While not an explicitly queer film, Domingo is a talented member of our community.
Divine G (Domingo), imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit, finds purpose by acting in a theater group alongside other incarcerated men. The way acting exercises and rehearsal set something in these men free is a vivid reminder of the transformative power of art. Based on the prison's Rehabilitation Through the Arts program, the film stars an unforgettable ensemble cast of people formerly incarcerated at the Sing Sing correctional facility. Their participation brings an authenticity to the group's founding principle that human dignity must be a part of the justice system. Directed with a dynamism that matches the charm, mischief and compassion of the men themselves, Sing Sing recognizes the value of a place we can gather in which to discuss, debate and create, wherever that may be.
