Expressing Identity

Join us for a celebration of fashion, identity and self-expression in the LGBTQIA+ international student community. 

Experiences of gender and sexuality vary significantly around the world, and moving to a new country can provide international students with the chance to discover themselves.  

Delve into the challenges and opportunities of exploring your gender and sexuality across continents through the personal experiences from a panel of international students who’ve been there before.  

Then head into a showroom filled with clothes where you can explore new outfits you might not usually wear and develop your own unique style and sense of expression.
