SUMMARY:Len and Cub: Exhibition Launch
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the Toronto launch of the Len and Cub exhibition on November 2\, 2023\, from 7-9. \nLeonard “Len” Keith (1891-1950) and Joseph “Cub” Coates (1899-1965) were two young men living in the rural village of Havelock\, New Brunswick\, who formed a relationship during the early 20th century. While keeping their attraction for each other hidden\, they privately captured their relationship via photographs – one of the oldest known surviving photographic records of a same-sex couple in the Maritimes. These remarkable archival images\, held at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick\, are as important socially and historically as they are unique in the photographic canon of eastern Canada. \nCurated by Dusty Green and Meredith J Batt and initially organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and the NB Queer Heritage Initiative from April 2\, 2022 – July 29\, 2022.

A prolific artist and illustrator\, he has worked non-stop for the last three decades. I’M SO GLAD WE HAD THIS TIME TOGETHER is an enthralling portrait of what it means to be true to yourself\, to learn to forgive\, and to be an artist. An astonishing\, epic graphic memoir in the spirit of Fun Home by Alison Bechdel and Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe\, Maurice’s Vellekoop is the rarest of things: moving\, funny\, and triumphant. \n“Maurice Vellekoop’s beautiful graphic memoir feels painfully honest. It’s about art and life and families and belief\, about who we are and what forms us\, the magic and the hurt\, and it evokes times that are well-lost while reminding us of the battles still being fought every day. Most of all\, I think\, it’s about love.” —Neil Gaiman\, author of The Sandman.

SUMMARY:LKDSB+
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by a curiosity to trace queer and trans histories\, presents\, and futures at the Lambton-Kent District School Board\, LKDSB+ is a representation of an ongoing project that documents the work being done in schools at the LKDSB to animate queer and trans moments and conversations. Throughout the 2022/23 school year\, schools were encouraged to collect items that reflected and recorded these conversations and submit them to their “pride mini-museum\,” a banker’s box given to each school. In June\, the boxes were delivered to the Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion\, and Justice team\, who donated the material to The ArQuives Collection. The exhibit is a selection of work submitted by students. \nThe Chatham-Kent and Sarnia-Lambton region (southern Ontario) that LKDSB covers has little queer and trans history documented\, though much exists. Knowing where we come from can help us understand where we are and where we can go\, particularly for young people. LKDSB+\, and the stories it represents\, is a rural Ontario school board’s attempt to remember\, write\, and imagine queer and trans histories and futures. \nOpen times and dates: Fridays 4 pm – 8 pm\, Saturdays 11 am – 3 pm\, Sundays 11 am – 3 pm\, or by appointment – email curatorial@arquives.ca. Closed June 8\, June 9\, June 29 and June 30. \nInstallation facilitated by the Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion and Justice Department of the Lambton-Kent District School Board\, with support from the Ontario Arts Council and the Government of Ontario. \n

Barnicke Gallery at the University of Toronto Art Museum. These concurrent exhibitions consider the roles that absence and opacity play in rendering trans and queer lives and archives. \nThe program will begin with a tour of Mnemonic silences\, disappearing acts on the 10th floor of The Jackman Humanities Institute (170 St. George Street). From there\, attendees will travel down St. George Street to the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (about a 10 minute walk) for a tour of Indiscernible thresholds\, escaped veillances.  \nMnemonic silences\, disappearing acts considers the silences\, erasures\, and censorships that colour the queer and trans archive\, featuring works by Kasra Jalilipour\, Jordan King\, Kama La Mackerel\, Hazel Meyer and Cait McKinney\, and Lan “Florence” Yee. \nIndiscernible thresholds\, escaped veillances brings together the work of Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Lucas LaRochelle\, Joshua Schwebel\, Chelsea Thompto\, and Lan “Florence” Yee to consider opacity\, illegibility\, and invisibility as productive alternatives to contemporary trans hypervisibility. \nThis event is free and open to the public. Both exhibition spaces are wheelchair accessible.
