It was an honor to share and uplift q***r and trans people of color, their voices and their work as artists of Q***R [RE]PUBLIC FESTIVAL. In partnership with The Theater Offensive, Think Outside the Vox provided and supported the festival’s Accessibility with Open Captions, a tactile tour, Audio Description and ASL interpretation with creatively and culturally competent teams.
