Lunch & Learn with Dustin Dufault 

20 September @ 12:30 pm 2:00 pm

Dustin Dufault is a two-spirited person from the Yukon Territory. A proud Kaska Dena First Nations individual. Growing up in small northern towns he’s had to suppress her individuality and learn to express himself in a multitude of alternative ways. Art and performing were her outlets. Learning to love the journey was the first step in their happiness. Dustin became enamoured with Drag and later developed her drag personality Ella Lamoureux. Expressing himself in an extreme feminine way taught him that femininity is not to be avoided but embraced. Through drag she’s realized that Dustin and Ella are not separate people but one person. Just shown with a different light.

Growing up fabulous in the North has many tough lessons but s/he would not be the person they are today without those lessons. Through the art of drag Dustin/Ella has embraced their femininity and helped them on their journey of cultural/two-spirit identity. Learn about their journey and how to incorporate little acts of decolonization into your daily life.

Tickets are $15/person and includes both the talk and lunch. We will try our best to accommodate dietary needs but cannot guarantee it!
