SUMMARY:Myseum Intersections 2021: Akanzyla (Durational Performance)
DESCRIPTION:A virtual livestream performance on the future of Women’s work where audience members can drop-in anytime to watch and interact. \nAbout this Livestream Performance\nSynopsis \nAkanzyla is an Indian climate refugee living in T’karonto\, located in the Northeast region of Turtle Island\, on the shores of Lake Ontarí’io in 2050. The government has offered climate refugees housing in the run-down condos that flooded the land’s infrastructure in the early 2000s. Akanzyla is a polyworker\, offering spiritual caretaking services for online communities\, participating in algae cultivation and transformation experiments as a creative biologist in the Almanac Cooperative\, all while being the second parent to two children conceived through hybridized surrogacy in a nurture pod and making content to increase the value of her namesake coin. Given the climate circumstances\, she is only able to safely venture outdoors 1-2 times a week\, leaving her physically isolated\, yet weaved through digital realms of care and collectivity. \nIn this 7-hour live durational performance (attend for as little or last long as you’d like) you are invited into her apartment to witness a work day from a possible future where feminine principles such as interspecies communication\, ancestral intelligence\, ecological healing\, care and cooperation reign\, but conflict with the residue of destructive legacy systems including colonialism\, white supremacy and capitalism. \nAudience members will be invited to participate in collective work throughout the day\, sensing into what futures of how we labour are available to us. \nThis work is informed by Memory Work\, a foresight research project on the future of woman’s work led by FromLater and At The Moment (ATM). \n*Please note as this is a durational performance you can tune-in/watch for as long as or as little as you choose. Join during a break or have a window/tab open throughout the day. There is also a participatory option while you watch\, which isn’t required but recommended. \nFor further information and to register please visit: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/myseum-intersections-2021-akanzyla-durational-performance-tickets-150972104629.

SUMMARY:Mrs. Dalgairns's 1830 Kitchen – Mary F. Williamson with Elizabeth Baird
DESCRIPTION:Mary Williamson talks about the extraordinary mix of cuisine and culture in an 1830 cookbook\, with updated recipes demo’d by Elizabeth Baird \nIn her new book\, Mrs. Dalgairns’s Kitchen\, Mary Williamson examines an unusual 19th century cookbook\, The Practice of Cookery. The book was unique not only in being wholly original\, but for its broad culinary influences\, incorporating recipes from British North America\, the United States\, England\, Scotland\, France and India. \nMrs. Dalgairn was thought by her contemporaries to be Scottish\, but she had lived for over 20 years on Prince Edward Island in Canada. In Mrs Dalgairns’s Kitchen\, Mary Williamson reclaims Dalgairns and her book’s Canadian roots. In addition to the author’s experience of Acadian and Mi’kmaq foodways\, Mrs. Dalgairns lived in Scotland for a number of years and added recipes there to her repertoire. Her mother had come from Boston\, inspiring the cookbook’s several American recipes; Dalgairns’s brothers-in-law lived in India\, reflected in the chapter devoted to curry recipes. \nWhen The Practice of Cookery first appeared in 1829\, reviewers went into ecstasies and it was a top seller for nearly 30 years\, until it was finally eclipsed by Mrs. Beeton’s famous cookbook. \nMary Williamson will be joined by Elizabeth Baird\, who adapted some of the recipes in the book for modern kitchens. Baird—who found Dalgairns’s recipes extremely practical—will demonstrate two of the updated recipes from the book. A Question & Answer with both women will follow.

SUMMARY:2021 Emancipation Day Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Emancipation Day is now formally recognized across Canada. Join the OBHS as we celebrate with our annual event on August 1st\, at 6pm EST. \nAbout this event\nOn August 1st\, the OBHS hosts virtually the annual Emancipation Day celebration to commemorate the anniversary of the Slavery Abolition Act. \nAugust 1\, 1834\, marks the day in which the practice of the enslavement of African peoples in all British colonies came to an end. Through the tireless efforts of both the enslaved and free status Africans\, as well as Black and white abolitionists\, emancipation finally became a reality. \nThis event features speakers\, performers\, the history of Toronto Carnival\, a cooking demonstration and much more. Join us and share this free event with your family and network! \nOn March 24th\, 2021\, by unanimous consent\, the House of Commons has adopted the M-36 bill. \nCanada has now recognized August 1st as Emancipation Day nationwide – But the recognition\, the education\, the fight for justice has just begun. \nThe Motion M-36 under PMB in the name of MP Majid Jowhari\, demonstrates that the House recognize that: \n(a) the British Parliament abolished slavery in the British Empire as of August 1\, 1834; \n(b) slavery existed in British North America prior to its abolition in 1834; \n(c) abolitionists and others who struggled against slavery\, including those who arrived in Upper and Lower Canada by the Underground Railroad\, have historically celebrated August 1 as Emancipation Day; \n(d) the Government of Canada announced on January 30\, 2018\, that it would officially recognize the United Nations International Decade for People of African Descent to highlight the important contributions that people of African descent have made to Canadian society\, and to provide a platform for confronting anti-Black racism; \n(e) the heritage of Canada’s people of African descent and the contributions they have made and continue to make to Canada; and that\, in the opinion of the House\, the government should designate August 1 of every year as “Emancipation Day” in Canada. \nHouse of Commons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0_JC9TwAtM \nThe OBHS invites you to become a member and welcomes donations.
