Join Italian-American and Italian QTs Owen Marciano and Alex Iantaffi as they begin preparing for a trans and queer spiritual pilgrimage to southern Italy next February, 2027 for the Candelora.
To help them raise funds, generate interest, and start building community to realize their collective dream, they will be offering Queering Italian Magic (virtual) salons - community conversations and practices to remember and evolve sacred, spiritual traditions.
In July Alex will facilitate a session exploring the role of Saints in Italian culture, including syncretic practices that merge Catholicism with more Pagan rituals and beliefs. We will also discuss how we might reclaim these practices as trans and queer people. A wonderful, unfolding example of this is the project on Queering Sant’Agata by Italian-American artist v. nico d’entremont.
Join them for this 90-120 minutes long community salon to talk about what we collectively know, and to explore how syncretic practices can help us reclaim cultural belonging beyond transphobia and queerphobia, on Tuesday July 14th at 6.30pm CT (4.30pm PST / 5.30pm MST/ 7.30pm EST).
Please note that Owen is still tending to their wellbeing and not co-facilitating at the moment. Alex will continue to nurture the Queering Italian Magic vision with Owen’s consent and support. The salons will also no longer happen on a regular, monthly basis to better match current capacity.
This event will be recorded for registered participants who are unable to attend at this time or who cannot attend the whole event. The recording will be sent out within 5 days after the date of the event.
Sliding scale is offered for registration. If you still need another option, please let Alex know by emailing Riot at admin@alexiantaffi.com. Nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. Please note that the upper end of the sliding scale is high, not by error but by choice. Alex and Owen are opening up to the potentiality of abundance for this series as a fundraiser to support the pilgrimage to the Candelora in 2027 (sign up for Alex’s newsletter here to make sure you don’t miss the announcement for dates, details, and registration for this coming very soon!)
