Somehow I manage to get on these really interesting mailing lists.

Not sure how these folks found me, but the events sound like they might be of interest to some of the art & activist-inclined on my f-list. Posted here in case anybody wants to check them out.

I WAS HERE

An art exhibit featuring work by only a few of the hundreds of women with No Fixed Address who give birth across the city of Toronto every year.

I did a piece awhile back for one of the websites I write for about film festivals in Toronto. I *jokingly* said something along the lines of "you name it, we've got a film festival for it."

Turns out, I was right.
