Art Museum at the University of Toronto
Join artists, writers, philosophers, performers, and activists for a night of thinking through what it means to be alive in the multiplicities of the body and the entanglements of identity.
In partnership with the Cultural Service of the French Embassy in Canada and Hart House, the Art Museum is one of the first Canadian institutions to take part in this French-initiated global, all-night event happening simultaneously in more than 50 cities.
The audience will be able to engage directly in conversation with thinkers as part an intensive series of lectures, workshops, performances, screenings, readings, and interactive activities.
Confirmed speakers and performances include: writer, philosopher, and curator Paul B. Preciado; fashion educator and researcher Ben Barry; genderqueer drag queen, storyteller, and creator Patrick Salvani/Ms. Nookie Galore; disabled, gender non-confirming/nonbinary trans performer and visual artist Wit López; Rare Theatre; and drag stars Fay & Fluffy's Storytime.
