Q Fest 2011: Being Seen, Being Heard

Coordinated by Open Space, the Q Fest is a two-day-long festival that gives the L.G.B.T. community a platform to contribute to a dialogue for change, and aims to encourage an exploration of personal identity, sexuality, and gender. The second edition of the festival is based around the theme ‘Being Seen, Being Heard’, and takes place this weekend (December 10-11) in Pune.
