Linda Forsythe: “Because La Quena was non-racist, non-sexist and non-homophobic, people who had been on the fringes of society found a place where they could be themselves and participate in a more inclusive community.” They hosted literacy and writing events, including the literary Olympics, and showed otherwise unavailable films about indigenous resistance. La Quena was “a hub for political action and expression.”
