SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Alliance x NOMA: A Dream (re)Designed
DESCRIPTION:A Dream (re)Designed | Block Parties and Beloved Community Through Third Spaces\nDate: June 12th\nTime: 6:30-8:30pm\nLocation: Preservation Austin McFarland-McBee House\, 3805 Red River St. 78751\nPrice: $5\, students and children are free \nPlaygrounds\, Community Centers\, Corner Stores. Each location forms a memory about what it meant to play\, live\, and connect to our community.

Dr. Marlon Johnson (Dean of Community Life at Seminary of the Southwest\, Owner of Johnson Counseling and Consulting)\, will join NOMA and the LGBTQIA+ Alliance to explore the concept of Third Spaces and their importance for POC and LGBTQ Wellness. \nWe will do some sketching of our favorite childhood third spaces\, hear a brief lecture of the concept of beloved community through design and development\, and learn more about our opportunities to support and advocate for local and regional community third spaces that are on the rise in the Austin and Central Texas area. \nBYOB – Bring Your Own Blanket (or chair) and sketchbook for an engaging family friendly workshop with Dr. Marlon Johnson. Light refreshments will be provided along with additional sketch materials. There are a limited number of chairs available onsite\, so please bring something to sit on if you are able.

SUMMARY:LGBTQIA Alliance + NOMA: Creating Homeplace
DESCRIPTION:Creating Homeplace: A Mental Health Perspective on Preserving Space for Black Queer Communities\n\nPlease join NOMA of Central Texas and AIA Austin’s LGBTQIA+ Alliance on Wednesday\, August 7\, 2024 from  6:00 – 8:00pm\, at The Commune\, to celebrate Austin Pride with a lecture on the importance of designing inclusive cultural spaces from Dr. Marlon Johnson\, an Austin-based mental health professional and counseling professor. Refreshments and bites will be provided. \nSpaces are limited and registration is required. General admission $15; Student admission $5. Register Here. All sales are final. \nLecture Synopsis  \nCulture\, heritage\, and space have always been linked to Black and Queer Wellness. Finding spaces where someone can feel safe to be their authentic self can help reinforce the mental and emotional resources needed to navigate racism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, and other forms of violence. This presentation is grounded in bell hooks’ exploration of homeplace with Dr. Johnson’s research about racial trauma and racial healing for queer bodies. Using the Queered Model for Black Identity Development\, Dr. Johnson will help participants to look at architecture and design as an opportunity to help others consider the necessity of belonging in space. Come define your “why” when designing inclusive cultural spaces for all communities involved. \nMarlon Johnson\, PhD\, LPC (TX)\, LPC-MHSP (TN)\, NCC Bio \nDr. Marlon Johnson (He/Him) serves as an Assistant Professor of Counselor Education at Seminary of the Southwest in Austin\, where he prepares individuals to become culturally-inclusive and spiritually-integrated mental health professionals. He is also a licensed professional counselor at his private practice in Austin\, Texas. Dr. Johnson’s clinical work centers Black mental wellness\, queer and trans-inclusive mental healthcare\, and community racial healing activities. He utilizes Narrative and Quare theories to help clients feel seen and safe to explore their identities and experiences within the counseling environment. Dr. Johnson trains students and scholars to think critically about cultural inclusion and advocacy within the realms of  assessment\, career interventions\, and counseling practice. As a researcher and advocate\, he integrates an intersectional framework to help communities explore Black and Queer identity development\, gay male relationship longevity\, strategies for racial healing\, and mental health access and equity. \nThank you\, NOMA and AIA Austin LGBTQIA+ Alliance Sponsors! \n\n

SUMMARY:LGBTQIA+ Alliance's QTOPIA: Deconstructing Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:QTOPIA: Deconstructing Boundaries\n\nThe first of a series of events titled QTOPIA\, we’re celebrating Pride Month by hosting a night of community and collective visioning of queer space. Join us for an interactive evening where we’ll deconstruct what queer space means through collage\, community\, and glitter. \nSpace is limited — please register via the link below. Complimentary drinks and canapes will be provided. \nThis first QTOPIA will culminate in the creation of a Zine — a collection of collages\, poetry\, and readings that will inform a broader understanding of the queer experience\, and lead to the creation of a design competition. \nWe’ll hear from preservationists\, queer designers\, and other professionals who will discuss the essence of queer space\, the Equity Based Preservation Plan\, the history of queer zines\, and the emotional topography of a community. \nTogether we’ll collage based on prompts regarding queer space and joy that will depict the spectrum of experience within the LGBTQIA+ community in our cities. \n\n\n\n\n REGISTER HERE\n\n
