ON OUR SPEAKER:
Jay Gash (she/they) is a Black Queer filmmaker, third-generation photographer, and teaching artist born, raised, and based in Oakland, CA. As the Founder & Creative Producer of GASH Productions, Jay has spent over a decade crafting visual narratives that explore the intimacy between moments and places while centering BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ identities. From producing, creative consulting, and mentoring, to directing, capturing beautiful cinematography, and editing, Jay’s versatile expertise spans across short films, documentaries, and impact campaigns.
ON THIS MONTH'S THEME:
Our theme for March is LOCAL. It was chosen by our Santos chapter in Brazil and illustrated by Simone Matias. Local (pronounced lo·cal) in Portuguese means “being a resident or native to a particular area.” Our Santos chapter had this to say about the significance of this month's theme: “We are proud to be from Santos. The feeling of loving the city but sometimes moving away. The benefits of belonging somewhere.”
So, how does where you’re from define who you are? How do different spaces foster that sense of connection? How can we develop and strengthen bonds with the people around us?
It’s time to remind ourselves that community happens in neighborhoods not just on screens.
