Pandemic as Portal is a nine-week series sponsored by the Spring Creek Project and Oregon State University featuring visionary thinkers who are imagining the world anew as it reconfigures in the midst of the pandemic. Each speaker will explore their highest vision of environmental and social justice, think about the crucial steps we can take as individuals and communities to bring that vision to life, and share stories of how this new paradigm is already taking shape.

* Second annual event! *
What does the queer ecological future feel like? Sound like? Taste like? Join us for a prideful celebration as we step into that future together. Through an evening of visionary music, art, performance, and community conversation, we will celebrate the biological exuberance of this queer earth, honor the legacies of survival and resilience of our LGBTQ history, explore the impact of climate change on our communities, and dream-up together how we build that queer ecological future where all beings survive and thrive.
Sponsored by Abundant Earth Foundation, Queer Ecojustice Project, The California Allegory, Lead to Life, Our Climate Voices and #Queers4ClimateJustice!
