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

SUMMARY:Joint Curatorial Tour: Indiscernible thresholds\, escaped veillances; Mnemonic silences\, disappearing acts with Dallas Fellini
DESCRIPTION:Join curator Dallas Fellini for a joint tour of Mnemonic silences\, disappearing acts at the Jackman Humanities Institute and Indiscernible thresholds\, escaped veillances at the Justina M.

SUMMARY:Leather Bound Stories in Archives
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on the leather community and the archives that hold their history. Featuring three knowledgeable academics in the field\, Hannah Dickson\, Patrizia Gentile\, and Mel Leverich\, who explore the flexibility of what the material can mean in the context of a queer archive.\n\nThe event is free\, but registration is required. \nBIOS \n\nHannah Dickson (she/they) is a Queer woman\, curator\, and researcher living and working in tkaronto/toronto. She has a BA in Art History and Gender Studies from Carleton University and an MA in Contemporary Art\, Design\, and New Media Art Histories from OCAD University. During her time at OCAD\, her research focused on the queerness of contemporary burlesque and the concept of the feminist gaze. Since then\, her research has evolved to include high femme aesthetics\, femmes and kink\, and the pairing of contemporary art with archival material to bridge the gaps within archives. \nPatrizia Gentile is Professor in the Human Rights & Social Justice and the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation at Carleton University. Her monograph Queen of the Maple Leaf: Beauty Contests and Settle Femininity (UBC Press\, 2020) was nominated for the best book prize by the Canadian Historical Association in 2022. She is co-author with Gary Kinsman of the Canadian War on Queers: National Security as Sexual Regulation (UBC Press\, 2010) and has co-edited two anthologies on sexuality\, gender\, and embodiment.

SUMMARY:Nuit Blanche 2024: Love Across Distance
DESCRIPTION:For Nuit Blanche 2024 an installation piece titled Love Across Distance will be presented at The ArQuives. \nLong distance relationships are a reality for many LGBTQ2+ individuals\, particularly in remote areas of Canada\, as online technology now allows many people to connect with others across geographic distances. \nThe installation offers a sense of experiencing love despite a geographic distance from a romantic partner. Social media\, dating apps and online dating have made it possible for people of all backgrounds\, genders and orientations to meet and connect\, despite geographic distance. But how are the sensorial experiences of love and intimacy experienced? Is it possible to truly feel sensations\, to develop trust and learn about one another if technology\, video and sound are the only methods of communication while apart? \nUsing a combination of sound and infrared technology\, this interactive installation allows audiences to ponder these questions\, while considering\, is it possible to experience true love across distance? The installation piece features two interactive stations with a representation of a partner or lover\, visible in one of the windows of our heritage house. Particularly for LGBTQ2+ people in remote parts of Canada\, meeting lovers or romantic partners may only be possible through technology\, sometimes across great distances. \nJordan King is a Canadian multi-disciplinary artist\, performer and writer. Her practice is rooted in performance\, archival research and intergenerational dialogue. Jordan’s work is generative\, intersectional\, and exploratory. \nNathan Bruce is a projection and lighting designer working in theatre and interactive installation. He is a Bachelors of Fine Arts Graduate of York University (2020) in Theatre Production & Design\, with an extensive and rapidly expanding resume. \nJordan and Nathan have co-designed the interactive installation for “Love Across Distance”. \nRead an interview with the artists \nVisit the official Nuit Blanche listing
