Real Chats: Building Inclusive Communtities (w/ Kat Dopper)
We've got a great Real Chats episode for you today as we speak with the Founder and Creative Director of Heaps Gay, Kat Dopper. It was a brilliantly real chat, covering the birth of Heaps Gay to the whirlwind 7 year journey to 2020. Even though we're in a pandemic, Kat's optimism is truly on the next level for what inclusiveness can look like after COVID. We spoke about:
- There's space for everyone - Kat reflects on the lack of space for queer communities which inspired Heaps Gay and how each event/activation she's been a part of serves a different purpose
- Learning to be adaptive when building communities - Kat mentions seeing Heaps Gay through the lockout laws and changing perspectives of the queer community, teaching her that adaptiveness is essential for a organisation
- Championing local and underrepresented artist - Kat shares the importance of giving artists in the queer community a platform to share their craft and making sure they get paid
- Change starts with an 'impact statement' - If you can articulate who your movement is for and why + how it'll make a difference, you already have everything you need.
