I know it is rapidly becoming that super busy time in the late-winter, early-spring art season where openings, fundraisers and festivals abound, but if you have time this Tuesday evening, C magazine is hosting a panel discussion on feminist practices in contemporary art that looks like it could be great (this is partly a biased opinion as I’m on the panel – but the other people who have been invited are super smart and great).

Organized around a series of questions posed by the speakers, the panel includes artists, writers and curators as well as magazine contributors and is moderated by editor Amish Morrell.

Speakers include:

Elle Flanders, Toronto based filmmaker, photographer, and York University faculty member.

Jen Hutton, Toronto based artist and writer.

Gabrielle Moser, writer, curator and PhD student in art history and visual culture at York University.

Helena Reckitt, Senior Curator of Programs at The Power Plant in Toronto.

Stephanie Rogerson, writer, artist, curator and PhD candidate in Art and Visual Culture at the University of Western Ontario.

It all takes place Tuesday February 9 at 7PM in the Drake Underground. More info can be found on akimbo.

If you can make it, bring your questions about contemporary feminist practices to pose to speakers and the audience. It would be great for this event to be a genuine, meaningful dialogue where the audience speaks just as frequently and actively as the panel.
