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. 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. Please contact artmuseum@utoronto.ca if you have any accessibility needs or questions. \n— \nAbout the Curator \nDallas Fellini is a curator\, writer\, and artist living and working in Toronto.

SUMMARY:Zine Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a one-day free zine workshop on June 8. Participants will learn about the history of zines and their role in DIY and queer culture\, featuring examples from The ArQuives collections! \nParticipants will also learn how to create and reproduce their very own zines. The ArQuives will supply some materials\, but bringing your own is encouraged. We hope to see you there! \n18+ due to the nature of discussions and material. \nWe are a masked space\, masks can be provided should you not have one. \nRegistration required. \nFacilitated by Emma Awe & Clara Lynas \nEmma Awe is a PhD candidate in Public History at Carleton University\, located on the unceded traditional territories of the Algonquin. Using artistic methods\, their dissertation asks how queer punk zines configure into the historic emergence of queer radical politics across Canada from 1980-2000. In educational\, not-for-profit\, and community settings\, Emma has worked with youth to explore queer and trans pasts through arts-based experiential learning. They draw inspiration from historic queer and radical media to dream new worlds in their own creative practices. (website) \n\n\nClara Lynas: is a Scarborough based zine artist\, she studied printmaking at OCAD University and uses it as a medium to tell stories in book form. She believes the body of the book is an integral part of the story it tells and strives to make a living\, breathing zines with a great physical presence. She would like to live more out of love than out of spite.\n\nFor questions\, please email Volunteer@arquives.ca
