5:00 – 7:00 pm – Reception

To welcome everyone for the new academic year, the Feminist Media Studio is holding its annual Open Studio get-together on Thursday, October 4.

At 4:15pm, we’ll have an open meeting for graduate students and faculty who are members or are interested in becoming members, to chat about the various activities planned for this year. We’ll share information on how to join the Studio and what kind of resources it offers. We’ll also ask current and future members about their interests, how they want to be involved, and what kind of support they’d like from the Studio.

From 5 to 7pm, we’ll have an informal reception for members, friends and colleagues from inside and outside of the university to meet and catch up.

Please join us for one or both parts of the Open Studio, share drinks and nibbles, and see what’s new at the Studio this year. We hope to see many new and many familiar faces!

About the Studio:

The Feminist Media Studio, located in the CJ building at Concordia University (Loyola campus), supports and critically engages with complex media representations of gendered social life. We interrogate, critically analyze and creatively engage the political potency of feminist practice, from artists’ and activists’ use of public engagements, web-based platforms, installations and image making. We seek to share and collectively build aesthetic strategies for making visible persistent forms of gender-based oppression and exploitation, for exploring gendered subjectivity and sexuality, attentive to the challenges of working across racial, gendered, class-based, historical and geographical divisions.
