Currently in our bookstore: $5 Handshake: Art on Treaty 8 Territory by SFU Galleries

"This is the fourth publication in the SFU Galleries Critical Reader Series. A corollary to the group exhibition Maps and Dreams (Audain Gallery, June 1 - July 29, 2017), this publication takes up concepts and implications of land use through cultural and industrial lenses, specifically in relationship to the territory of the Dane-zaa people of northeastern British Columbia, now in Treaty 8. New texts by artist Brenda Draney, researcher Kate Hennessy, curator Candice Hopkins, and the exhibition curators, Brian Jungen and Melanie O'Brian, as well as a reprinted chapter from Hugh Brody's 1981 anthropological study Maps and Dreams connect the personal to regional and global contexts."

📣 Tomorrow! Please join us for an artist talk with Lou Sheppard, as part of our STAGES Speaker Series!

The talk will be offsite on Thursday, February 2nd, at 6 pm at Club 200, 190 Garry Street.

Lou Sheppard works in interdisciplinary audio, performance and installation based practices. His work focuses on climate crisis, loss, queer ecologies and economies, responding to the material and discursive histories of sites, bodies and environments. Lou’s research is evidenced through graphic notations, scripts and scores which are often performed in collaboration with other artists and in community gatherings.

His recent work, Rights of Passage, commissioned by the Art Gallery of York University, was a three act drag and choral performance reflecting on the tension between the urban development in Toronto and local river systems. Other works, like A Strong Desire, asserted queer resistance to the DSM V diagnostic text for gender dysphoria by notating a dance work in the margins of the text.

Lou has participated in numerous residencies, including the International Studio Curatorial Program, La Cité des Arts, and as faculty at The Banff Centre. Lou’s work has been included in the Toronto Biennial and the Antarctic Biennial, and he is currently completing a public art commission for the Broadway Subway Project in Vancouver. Lou is a settler on the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia.

Currently in our bookstore: Bitter Melanin by Andi Vicente

"This collection started as a zine series that stemmed from wanting to put together pivotal moments of warmth and endearment and pain of a particular diasporic narrative. The first one highlights anxieties around identity. The second looks at migration pathways and challenges. The third encompasses the return of the self through contributions from the Filipino diaspora. Now compiled together with the addition of a forth which focuses on strengthening relationships and reimagining futures."

Week 8 of Soothsayer Serenades, featuring the play

Week 8 of Soothsayer Serenades, featuring the playlist, 'Art/Mom’.

Soothsayer Serenades by Amrita Hepi, is a provocation for moving together while apart, without proof of presence. An offline dance class or walk.

There will be no Zoom meet-up, no Insta live - just the promise to move together. Leave the trace where you wish in the real world. Soothsayer is a person who can predict the future by magical, intuitive, or event rational means - a provocation to this moving-together-ness is that we become that sage.

This is the final iteration of Soothsayer Serenades in collaboration with the artist, Amrita Hepi @amrita_moves, and Tsēmā Igharas @tsema_rockmother 🌟🕺

To listen to this week's playlist, click the link 🔗 in our bio

Notes for Tomorrow is a traveling exhibition organized and produced by Independent Curators International (ICI). Learn more at @curatorsintl

Currently in our bookstore: The Collected Poems of Edouard Glissant

"This volume collects and translates—most for the first time—the nine volumes of poetry published by Édouard Glissant, one of the great writers of the twentieth century. The poems bring to life what Glissant calls “an archipelago-like reality,” partaking of the exchanges between Europe and its former colonies, between humans and their geographies, between the poet and the natural world"

Currently in our bookstore: Diary of an Innocent by Tony Duvert

“Now in English, Duvert's shocking novel about a sexual adventurer among a tribe of adolescent boys in Northern Africa.
"I'd find it amusing if, in a few centuries, the only thing that our descendents condescend to retain of our artistic production, the only thing in which they'll see worlds to admire, to penetrate, the only thing that they'll show off as precious in immense museums after having flushed down the toilet all our acknowledged masterpieces, the only thing that will give them nostalgia and love for us will be our porn."—from Diary of an Innocent ”
