What does it mean for queers to write about their own countercultures? Join Tina Horn, author of the new book Why Are People Into That? A Cultural Investigation of Kink, and Sydney Baloue, author of the upcoming book Undeniable: A History of Voguing, Ballroom and How It Changed My Life (and the World) for a conversation on nonfiction craft, infiltrating mainstream publishing, and the challenges of being true to your community while also telling compelling true stories.

"Writing Countercultures from the Inside Out: Leather and Ballroom Nonfiction Books" will take place at Tom of Finland Foundation on Saturday, October 5, 2024, from 6-8:30 p.m.

This reading is organized by Tina Horn as part of Circa: Queer Histories Festival 2024, presented by One Institute.
