SUMMARY:Still Brazen: Twenty Years of Queering Femininity - Podcast Launch
DESCRIPTION:The foundational femme anthology Brazen Femme: Queering Femininity was published in 2002. Editors Chloë Brushwood Rose and Anna Camilleri curated a collection of prose\, poetry\, visual art\, and theory that explored femme on its own terms and brought us new\, complex understandings of femme experience that changed the conversation about queer femininities. Now\, twenty years later\, original contributors to the collection and emerging femme writers and scholars come together on this podcast to talk about femme’s past\, present\, and future. \nJoin us in person at The ArQuives on Saturday\, October 21\, to celebrate the launch of Still Brazen: Twenty Years of Queering Femininity. Come out for the chance to listen to all six podcast episodes before they’re online\, see ephemera from the early days of Brazen Femme\, and share your memories of the book and visions of femme’s future.

SUMMARY:Keeping Our Stories Alive: Processing LGBTQ2S Histories with Jeffrey Canton
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Storytelling Toronto\, The ArQuives is thrilled to present Keeping Our Stories Alive: Processing LGBTQ2S Histories with Jeffrey Canton. \nPreserving personal stories of unique experiences of being LGBTQ2S is one of the most important ways to contribute to the history of the Queer and Trans community in Canada. This course offers participants techniques to take a memory or anecdote about their experience as LGBTQ2S and craft it into a polished performance piece. Participants will learn how to shape and enhance their story and give it the power it deserves as a contribution to our history as LGBTQ2S. Participants will be encouraged to donate their stories to The ArQuives as well as participate in a final concert where participants will share with their guests. \nThis course is being presented in person at The ArQuives during the following dates and times. \nFriday\, August 18 (6 pm- 10 pm)\nSaturday\, August 19 (10 am-4 pm)\nSunday\, August 20 (12 pm- 5 pm)\n \nJeffrey Canton\, a storyteller of traditional and personal tales for over three decades\, identifies as LGBTQ\, and much of his work focuses on his intersectional identity. He is a core member of Queers in Your Ears\, Toronto’s oldest LGBTQ2S storytelling collective. Jeffrey has trained at the Toronto Biennial of Art in conflict resolution\, anti-oppression\, and anti-racism and uses this training to create a safe space for all participants. \nThe last day to register for this class is Monday\, August 14th at 5 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: JOY. SORROW. ANGER. LOVE. PRIDE.
DESCRIPTION:JOY. SORROW. ANGER. LOVE. PRIDE.\nA celebration of Toronto Pride\, from 1970 to Present\nLaunched in conjunction with the 50th anniversary of The ArQuives—Canada’s only LGBTQ2+ archive with a national scope—Toronto Pride’s first exhibition and publication feature enlarged archival photographs\, print media\, and ephemera carefully selected from among the archives’ holdings and a public call for submissions. Kicking off Pride Season\, this remarkable multifaceted project focuses on Toronto Pride from 1970 to the present day. \nOn August 1\, 1971\, a group of gay and lesbian activists organized Toronto’s first “Gay Day Picnic” at Hanlan’s Point Beach\, and the efforts put forth that summer afternoon sparked a movement. Since then\, millions of local and international visitors have attended and supported Toronto Pride. Today\, it is one of the largest gatherings of the LGBTQ2+ community and their allies in the world. \n

SUMMARY:Exhibition pack un pack
DESCRIPTION:The ArQuives is hosting the reopening of the solo exhibition of artist and photographer Hamidah Hemani.  The show titled pack un pack will feature a series of large and small format photography\, which provocatively explores the definitions and constructs of “home\, space and subculture” through a queer south Asian lens. pack un pack runs from March 18 to 29th\, at 34 Isabella Street. \nAccording to Hemani\, “Most queer people lose homes when they come out. Either that is being physically kicked out from their houses or at an inner level where a significant amount of comfort zone is compromised.”  \n“Then we set out to build our homes and communities that reflect who we are. This exhibition will be about finding homes that the brown South Asian have built in the contemporary spaces. It will be an exploration of South Asian communities and subcultures.” \nGallery Hours: \nSaturday\, March 18 from 2-6\nSunday\, March 19 from 2-5 \nMonday\, March 20 from 10-4\nWednesday\, March 22 from 10-4 \nSaturday\, March 25 from 2-6\nSunday\, March 26 from 2-5 \nMonday\, March 27 from 10-4\nWednesday\, March 29 from 10-4 \n

SUMMARY:Forbidden Love: The Unashamed Stories of Lesbian Lives // Newly Restored 30th Anniversary Screening
DESCRIPTION:*Patrons attending this screening are requested to wear a mask at all times unless eating or drinking.* \nThis feature documentary delves into the rich history of Canadian queer women’s experiences in the mid–20th century. Compelling\, often hilarious and always rebellious\, the women interviewed in this film recount stories about their search for the places where openly gay women gathered in urban centres. Contemporary interviews\, archival footage and a stylized fictional narrative based on the pulp novels of the 1950s are woven throughout this simultaneously funny\, heartbreaking and empowering film. Forbidden Love brings an important and empowering history of lesbian sexuality in Canada out of the closet. \nPost-screening Q&A with director and Hot Docs alum Lynne Fernie\, moderated by filmmaker Janis Cole. \nPromotional Partners: The ArQuives\, Inside Out and Media Commons Archive at the University of Toronto \nTickets: $15
