October 28th at 5pm, 2023 at Progress Lab 1422

“How We Say I Love You” was a cabaret celebrating local Black Queer artistry, in conjunction with the frank theatre’s production of How Black Mothers Say I Love You by Trey Anthony. With the aim of creating space for Black Queer folks to love up on our own community, each act in the lineup was invited to dedicate their set (or a part of it) to another Black Queer artist, either in the city or on the bill. Featuring a dynamite lineup of local Black Queer icons, “How We Say I Love You” was an invitation for Black Queer community and the people who love and support us to revel in our innovation, creative power, and radical love for each other and ourselves.

This community event took place in dialogue with the frank theatre company's mainstage show, How Black Mothers Say I Love You by Trey Anthony, running November 2 - 12 at the Cultch!
