"Queer Appalachia" is a part of the Invasive Queer Kudzu: Richmond's Saturday picnic series. The series includes events happening every Saturday of the exhibition from noon to 5 p.m. These picnics will include lectures and demonstrations by various speakers, community organizers and kudzu enthusiasts. In this capacity Invasive Queer Kudzu: Richmond is also a platform for shared, yet diverse queer communities across the South to come together and strengthen their networks. By sharing their stories and building vibrant community, they invade and overcome the homophobic institutions that otherwise obscure such rich histories.
