On the politics front, while our immediate community feels as <br />inclusiv e and open-minded as they come, we remain deeply <br />concerned about gender inequality, misogyny, and hurtful <br />reactionism. One need only look at 2016’s HB2, or the just recently <br />passed NC House Bill 755 – a copycat of Florida’s “Don’t Say Gay” <br />bill disingenuously disguised as a “Parent’s Bill of Rights” – to realize <br />that the state of North Carolina can often be an unwelcoming place <br />for queer folk. Caroline’s inv estment in the LGBTQIA2S+ community <br />courses throughout her work, both as an artist and a publisher. W e <br />at LEVEL are proud to elev ate and promote queer v oices within and <br />outside of our community. Only through increasing our collectiv e <br />exposure to new ideas can we dismantle hateful policies that arise <br />from the discrimination of people who simply wish to be their truest <br />selv es. <br />Simply put: Caroline Kern is a powerhouse. W ith the support of an <br />OCAC grant, we know that her presence in Orange County will be a <br />life affirming and altering experience for all who get to spend time <br />with her and her work. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: AA8A1AA6-4BBD-4E2D-9F60-F722FBC79268
