leaning in

Opening & CWSE Open House: Monday Oct 2, 5:30-7PM CWSE Hallway Gallery, OISE, 252 Bloor Street West, 2 nd Floor Exhibition runs until January 26, 2018 Open Daily from 9AM-6PM FREE & Wheelchair accessible. leaning in acts as a narrative viewing of nine artists lives: Koren Bellman, Katie Caslick, Jeanette Doyon, Tammy Francis, Kathy Keenan, John Lai, Drew Smith, Linda Sofranko and Candace Wilkins. For this exhibition, the group focussed on developing ideas around p ersonal growth, the subconscious, release, new life, faith, friends, a seven-year plan and nature. The work for leaning in , like most of the artwork created at NEXTDOOR, is process-based.  I think leaning in is a purposeful, and radical, act.  I believe leaning in, at its core, means that individuals choose to be present and to give energy to themselves or another.  To lean in means to make space and time for something or someone.  The idea of leaning in requires thought and...

TAC Project for 2024-2025

For this year WIAprojects  will be working with   113Research   and   Gallery 1313   on a Toronto Arts Council funded project,   Transformative Access: Activating Disability Desires . In “Transformative Access: Activating Disability Desires”, the “disabled” bodies we inhabit foreground our concerns as we, emerging and established artists/designers, curators, project leaders, and advisors, take on critical exploratory work.

In conversation with ideologies, people, policies, and structures, we ask, how can the "crip" body act, given its creative potential, be centred in these practices, and be resilient to ableism. We ask, “Wh...

May 02 – July 1st, 2016 Opening: May 02, 5.30 - 6.30pm Informal Discussion with Artist: 6pm CWSE Hallway Gallery 2nd Floor, OISE 252 Bloor Street West (Bloor & St George) Images by Joanna Black Winnipeg artist/researcher Joanna Black explores prejudice in academia in   Sex/ism: ECHoes & ‘ReVERBS’  @  Ivory Towers .  The abundance of articles and reports about longstanding persistent sexist problems in our universities informed the content of this work. For this exhibition in particular, attention has been given to the University of Toronto (U of T). Sexism at U of T was established in the university’s founding year, 1850. Its illustrious professor and president John McCaul firmly exclaimed at the time that the university doors would never be open to women in his day! (Canadian Encyclopedia, 2016). Even though the doors have been opened – and indeed during his day no less! – today’s glass ceiling remains intact: existent sexi...
