Choose to join in depth conversations about racism\, microaggressions\, and the use of artistic expression as a means of inspiring change. \nThis event includes a talk written by Dr. Naila Keleta-Mae\, “On Safety\, Glass Ceilings\, and Feminism\,” followed by a live question and answer period with playwright Luke Reece and director Lisa Karen Cox. \nWritten by Luke Reece and directed by Lisa Karen Cox\, with a cast featuring Amaka Umeh\, Cameron Grant\, Daren A.

SUMMARY:Myseum of Toronto: Black Creek Walks\, Talks & Dances – Workshop & Walking Tour 3
DESCRIPTION:WALKING TOUR\n\nWe Are All Treaty People\n\nThe Indigenous peoples of this area view the treaty relationship as one between nations but also between human beings and all other beings inhabiting the land\, water and air we share.

We’ll use the “Moccasin Identifier” to help show the connection to the land of each major Indigenous group linked to Toronto\, and ask each other about the footprint we want to leave. \nMeeting point: South-East corner of Jane and Steeles W.\nTour ends at Driftwood Park.\n2-5pm

SUMMARY:Myseum of Toronto: Confinement and Contagion: Health and Harm Reduction Inside of Canadian Prisons – Informational Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This workshop\, led by Sena Hussain and Prisoners with HIV/AIDS Support Action Network (PASAN)\, will explore the impacts of unequal access to health care and harm reduction measures that prisoners face across Turtle Island. We will also look at how COVID-19 has stressed the carceral system in unprecedented ways and how this pandemic has manifested in creating great harm to people inside. A discussion of an article in Cell Count\, a health and harm reduction resource for prisoners\, will then take place to look at the experiences and mindset of someone who has been carrying out a life sentence to create further understanding of the prison experience. Participants will discuss ways that people on the outside can be in solidarity with those fighting for their rights on the inside.

SUMMARY:Myseum (Virtual): Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada
DESCRIPTION:A conversation exploring the history and lived experiences of Black Railway Porters and their fight for equality on and off the tracks. \n“All aboard!” for Derailed: The History of Black Railway Porters in Canada. \nFrom the late 1800s to the mid 1900s\, Canada’s Black Railway Porters were a group of workers who disrupted the system\, becoming instrumental in leading the fight for fair employment practices and anti-discriminatory laws. \nTheir fight for equality both on and off the track helped shape the multicultural Canada we know today\, and continues to inform contemporary conversations about labour and race. \nJoin us for this educational and eye-opening conversation between author/scholar Cecil Foster (They Call Me George: The Untold Stories of Black Train Porters)\, and Andria Babbington and John Cartwright of the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. \nThis conversation will take us back in time to take a look at the inspiring lives and contributions of these men\, and explore how their legacy can help us imagine greater equality in Canada today and in the future. \nThis conversation in partnership with the Toronto & York Region Labour Council is part of an upcoming and in-depth multimedia exhibition about Canada’s Black Railway Porters presented in collaboration with Cecil Foster.

SUMMARY:Myseum: Toronto Stories Live
DESCRIPTION:An evening of storytelling that explores overlooked\, unseen\, and forgotten stories in Toronto’s history. \nJoin Myseum of Toronto for an evening of storytelling that explores overlooked\, unseen\, and forgotten stories in Toronto’s history. \nThese fascinating stories will be told by notable Torontonians who have their own special connection to these stories. \nThe storytelling portion of this event will be followed by an audience Q&A with the storytellers. \n– – – – – \nStories & Storytellers\nStory: Daphne Odjig \nStoryteller: Bonnie Devine \nDuring World War II\, Daphne Odjig was a young assembly line worker who on the weekends taught herself to draw by studying the paintings at the Art Gallery of Toronto and Eaton’s College Street gallery. Decades later\, though entirely self-taught\, Odjig received two of Canada’s highest civilian honours – the Governor General’s award in Visual Art and the Order of Canada. Artist and OCAD University associate professor emerita Bonnie Devine will delve into the history and work of Daphne Odjig with a special appearance by Elder Dr. Duke Redbird delivering an original poem inspired by Daphne’s work \n– – – – – \nStory: Jean Lumb \nStoryteller: Arlene Chan \nJean Lumb was a community activist and restaurateur in Toronto’s Chinatown. Known as the unofficial spokesperson for the Chinese community\, Jean Lumb played a significant role in shaping Chinese immigration law in Canada and chaired Toronto’s “Save Chinatown” campaign in the late 1960s. Arlene Chan will share her mother’s story\, featuring clips from The Spirit of the Dragon\, the 2003 documentary directed by Gil Gauvreau. \n– – – – – \nStory: The Election That Changed Toronto \nStoryteller: John Lorinc \nThe transition from Leslie Saunders to Nathan Phillips was a watershed moment in Toronto politics\, a moment when Phillips\, the self-professed “mayor of all the people\,” replaced Saunders\, an outspoken Orangeman. Narrated by author and journalist John Lorinc\, this story will set the scene of Toronto’s monumental 1954 mayoral election. \n– – – – – \nStory: Binational Lesbian Conference \nStoryteller: Rebecka Sheffield \nThe First Annual Binational Lesbian Conference was a key moment in the development of a lesbian feminist movement. For three days in May 1979\, women from across Canada and North America gathered to talk about issues of intersectionality\, representation\, sexuality\, and class. Narrated by Rebecka Sheffield this story looks back at the conference and includes short remembrances by conference attendees Robin Tyler and Shelley Robertson.

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.
