SUMMARY:An Esoteric TTRPG History With Leonardo Abate\, Michael Iantorno\, and Marc Lajeunesse
DESCRIPTION:Join Leonardo Abate\, Michael Iantorno\, and Marc Lajeunesse for a discussion about tabletop roleplaying games. \nWe’ll look at exciting moments in the development of TTRPGs across time and place. Starting with a general overview of how TTRPGs developed in America\, we’ll venture across the sea to look at the beautiful TTRPG coastline of Italy where in the 80s and 90s small but imaginative subcultures of TTRPG gaming developed independently\, with games that were never translated to English. We’ll also discuss the development of the Open Gaming License and how it spawned subcultures of homebrew practices. \n  \n🗓 October 2\, 2025 \n⏱️ 4 – 5 PM \n📍TAG Lab EV 11.435

SUMMARY:Curatorial Talk by Samantha Lance: "Stitching Ancestral Histories and Diasporic Stories: New Reflections on Curating Textiles"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Textile and Materiality Research Cluster for a special virtual talk with curator and writer Samantha Lance as she shares reflections on curating textile practices. This session will explore ancestral\, diasporic\, and contemporary contexts\, and will be especially relevant for anyone interested in material culture\, embodied histories\, and textiles as vessels of memory and community. \nSamantha will give an in-depth walkthrough of her graduating exhibition\, The Love that Remains\, which was on display at the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. She’ll also discuss her experience at the Textile Society of America’s 2024 symposium\, “Shifts & Strands: Rethinking the Possibilities and Potentials of Textiles”. \nAs the current Curator at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington\, Samantha will also touch on the exhibition To Our Reunited Future by Moroccan-Canadian artist Rihab Essayh. \nAfter the talk\, you’re invited to participate in a story-sharing circle to reflect on textile practices as expressions of love\, ancestral rituals\, and intergenerational connection. \n  \nABOUT SAMANTHA LANCE: \nSamantha Lance is a Canadian curator and writer whose work fosters meaningful connections between artists and communities. She holds a Master of Visual Studies in Curatorial Studies from the University of Toronto and a BFA in Criticism and Curatorial Practice from OCAD University. She is currently Curator at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington. \nLance has worked with institutions including the Art Museum at the University of Toronto\, The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, C Magazine\, the Art Gallery of Algoma\, Onsite Gallery\, and Latitude Gallery New York. Her graduating exhibition\, The Love that Remains (Art Museum at the University of Toronto\, 2024)\, brought together Toronto-based artists whose textile practices recover matrilineal histories of displacement and belonging. She continues to research and collaborate with artists and curators advocating for women’s labour\, textile practices\, and ancestral techniques\, with a particular interest in experimental\, multisensory exhibition strategies that expand accessibility and dialogue. \n  \n📅 September 29\, 2025 \n⏱️ 5-7 PM \n📍 Online \n

SUMMARY:"A Queer History of Blackouts" by Dr. Cait McKinney
DESCRIPTION:Media History Research Center (MHRC)\, DIGS Lab and Archive/Counter Archive (A/CA) are delighted to invite you to Dr Cait McKinney’s talk “A Queer History of Blackouts.”\n  \nIn this talk\, McKinney offers a media history of the online blackout as a digital tactic grounded in 1990s AIDS activism. “Blackout” protests evoke power grid failures\, temporarily shutting down online systems by removing content\, blocking access\, or replacing content with black imagery. This lasting tactic began with New York-based Visual AIDS and Creative Time’s Day Without Art online blackout (1995–2000)\, which drew attention to the AIDS crisis as a systemic failure to care for minoritized people. The protest asked participating sites to adopt a small banner graphic and redact their websites for the day. McKinney argues that an AIDS-informed perspective on infrastructure collapse and systemic exclusion shaped blackouts. This history helps us understand how and why blackouts trade in feelings of frustration with broken systems. The author situates this historical analysis of the online blackout in a wider queer media theory of blackouts as impasses in which affective life abruptly shifts in generative ways.\nThe public talk will be followed by a graduate seminar on Friday\, September 26 from 10am to 12pm. \n  \nABOUT CAIT MCKINNEY: \nCait McKinney is an associate professor in the School Communication at Simon Fraser Universityspecializing in sexuality studies\, media history\, and activist media.

Dr. Susan Leigh Foster\, Dr. André Lepecki\, Dr. Erin Manning\, Dr. Jens R. Giersdorf\, Lilia Mestre\, and Dr. Angélique Willkie will discuss how dance and choreography can function as mediating forces within social and political structures. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \n  \nDr. Susan Leigh Foster\, choreographer and scholar\, is Distinguished Professor in the Department of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at UCLA. She is author of Reading Dancing\, Choreographing Narrative\, Dances that Describe Themselves\, Choreographing Empathy\, and\, most recently\, Valuing Dance: Commodities and Gifts in Motion. Three of her danced lectures can be found at the Pew Center for Arts and Heritage website. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDr. André Lepecki works and researches at the intersection of critical dance studies\, curatorial practice\, performance theory\, contemporary dance and visual arts performance.

Pedagogical experiments are central to her work\, some of which occur at Concordia University in Montreal where she is a research chair in Speculative Pragmatism\, Art and Pedagogy in the Faculty of Fine Arts. Recent monographs include The Minor Gesture (Duke 2016)\, For a Pragmatics of the Useless (2020) and Out of the Clear (forthcoming\, minor compositions). Her artwork is textile-based and relationally-oriented\, often participatory. She is interested in the detail of material complexity\, in what reveals itself to perception sideways\, in the quality of a textural engagement with life. Her work often plays synesthetically with touch\, of recent in acknowledgement and experimentation with the ProTactile movement for DeafBlind culture and language. Tactile propositions include large-scale hangings produced with a diversity of tools including tufting\, hooking\, knotting\, weaving. 3e is the main direction her current research takes – an exploration of the transversality of the three ecologies\, the social\, the environmental and the conceptual (3ecologies.org). An iteration of 3e is a land-based project north of Montreal where living and learning is experimented. Legacies of SenseLab infuse the project\, particularly the question of how collectivity is crafted in a more-than human encounter with worlds in the making. \n  \nABOUT THE MODERATORS: \n  \nDr. Jens Richard Giersdorf is an international dance scholar whose research focuses on choreographies of politics in a global context as well as epistemological concerns in dance studies. He received a Magister Theater\, Dance and Music Theater Studies from the University of Leipzig\, Germany\, and a Ph.D. in Dance History and Theory from the University of California\, Riverside\, USA. He taught at the University of Surrey\, UK\, Marymount Manhattan College\, and the University of California\, Riverside\, both USA. His writing has been published in a number of peer-reviewed journals as well as translated and anthologized internationally. Giersdorf is regularly invited by key national and international institutions to speak on his work. His monograph The Body of the People: East Germany Dance since 1945 (University of Wisconsin Press\, 2013) is the first study on dance in East Germany\, it was named “Outstanding Academic Title” for 2013 by Choice magazine. The German translation Volkseigene Körper: Ostdeutscher Tanz seit 1945 (transcript Verlag\, 2014) was supported by the Swedish Lilian Karina Foundation. Giersdorf edited Choreographies of 21st Century Wars (Oxford Studies in Dance Theory Series\, Oxford University Press\, 2016) in co-authorship with Gay Morris and the third edition of the Routledge Dance Studies Reader (2019) with Yutian Wong. In his professional affiliations\, Giersdorf is a member of Dance Studies Association\, where he also served as the Vice President for Publication and Research and the International Federation of Theater Research. \n  \nLília Mestre (she\, her) is a performing artist\, dramaturge and researcher working in collaborative formats mainly in the fields of contemporary dance and choreography. She is interested in forms of organisation created by and for artistic practice as alternative study processes for social-political reflection. She has been working on the concept of ‘artificial friendship’ which has been the source for the creation of methodological structures (scores) for exchange and collaboration in artistic research settings\, which have been documented in various publications. She was artistic coordinator of a.pass (Advanced Performance and Scenography Studies) in Brussels and is currently Assistant Professor at the Department of Contemporary Dance and Co-director of the Performing Arts Research Cluster (LePARC) within the MILIEUX Institute for Arts Culture and Technology at Concordia University. Tiohtià:ke/Montreal. She was granted the The Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award 2023 for her research on expanded choreography “Through Materialities\, Movement and Description”. \n  \nA multidisciplinary artist\, Angélique Willkie began her dance training after completing a Master’s degree in Economics at McGill University. A graduate of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre\, she subsequently pursued a career in Europe where\, over 25 years\, she performed with dance companies and independent projects throughout Europe\, most notably Alain Platel/Les Ballets C. de la B.\, Jan Lauwers/Needcompany\, Sidi LarbiCherkaoui\, Helena Waldmann and as a singer with the Belgian world-music group Zap Mama\, bands Arno\, dEUS\, 7Dub\, DAAU\, Ez3kiel\, and Zita Swoon Group\, with jazz vocalist David Linx and contemporary composers Walter Hus\, Kaat De Windt and Fabrizio Cassol. \nPerformer\, singer\, dramaturge and pedagogue\, Angélique has been among the more sought-after contemporary technique teachers on the European professional circuit\, teaching companies\, schools and festivals including ImpulsTanz (Vienna)\, Henny Jurriens Stichting(Amsterdam)\, SEAD (Salzburg)\, Wim Vandekeybus/Ultima Vez (Brussels)\,Circuit-Est centre chorégraphique (Montreal) among others. \nSince resettling in Montreal in 2014\, Angélique has continued to be active in Montreal’s professional community as teacher\, creator and dramaturge. Her current research interests have three main axes: approaches to interdisciplinary artistic creation (i.e. that sits“between” disciplinary boundaries); European circus aesthetics and dramaturgy; and the notion of a personal dramaturgy\, inspired by the trajectories of performer Josephine Baker and French transgender circus artist Phia Ménard. An underlying interest in her work remains the use of the voice as a creative tool and performance instrument. \n  \n🗓 September  25\, 2025\n🕒 2-4 PM\n📍4TH SPACE \n🔗 Join this event online.

SUMMARY:Orange Shirt Dyeing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join the Indigenous Futures research Centre (IFRC) and the Textiles and Materiality cluster on Friday\, September 19\, for a hands-on dyeing workshop as we prepare for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. \nThe orange shirt is a symbol of the experiences of Indigenous children\, families\, and communities harmed by the residential school system\, and a reminder that Every Child Matters. Ahead of Orange Shirt Day (September 30)\, the IFRC and the Textiles and Materialities Research Cluster invite the Concordia community to come together to learn\, reflect\, and create. \nLed by Geneviève Moisan\, this workshop will introduce participants to the process of fabric dyeing while also opening space for discussion about the history and significance of Orange Shirt Day. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring a natural-fiber shirt to dye\, or purchase one provided by us (limited sizes and quantities available). All proceeds from this event will go towards the Indigenous Health Centre of Tiohtià:ke. \nThis event is free and open to the Concordia community\, but space is limited and registration is required. \n  \n📅  September 19\, 2025 \n⏱️ 1-4 PM \n📍VA Building Courtyard \n🎟️  Make sure to register here. \n

SUMMARY:DIGS Reading Group: Queer Interfaces
DESCRIPTION:After a successful reading group pilot during the Winter 2025 semester\, the Digital Intimacy\, Gender and Sexuality (DIGS) Lab’s reading group is back! \nDIGS Reading group is an initiative led by the lab’s graduate student members\, envisioned as an academic “third place” in which we discuss scholarship related to \ndigital intimacy\, gender and sexuality in a semi-formal setting. This time\, we are setting out to explore the topic of Queer Interfaces. \nInterface\, a concept originating in physics\, has spread across various disciplines to denote “any communicative interchange that takes place in a specific space” (Scolari\, p.215). The interface refers to a dialectical site of interplay\, in which media technologies and users/consumers negotiate their participation and actualization within this shared space. According to media theorists Brandon Hookway (2014) and Alexander Galloway (2012)\, the interface can be understood as a relation that emerges between the user and the technical object\, or an effect that emerges from that relation rather than simply being an object that is designed and prepared for use. Both Hookway and Galloway insist that an interface is a boundary\, or a threshold condition that opens up gateways to new conditions. In that sense\, the interfaces of social media do not only concern the features of Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) the users interact with\, but are a whole network of relations\, effects and possibilities that arise from those interactions. The interface\, as a site that delimits the conditions of agency and participation\, doesn’t only \nserve to bring disparate agents into an act of exchange\, but additionally produces forms of subjectivity that make communication between those agents possible (Hookway\, 2014). Given that no “technology is single use” (Lingel\, 2014)\, we are asking\, how do interfaces of digital archiving\, social media and dating platforms help shape queer subjectivity\, connectivity\, culture and history? And on the other side\, how does queerness complicate\, subvert or otherwise intervene in norms and conditions of digital interfaces? \nThis reading group is imagined as a space for discussion\, inquiry and experimentation with three meetings planned until the end of the fall semester. In order to keep track of participation\, please RSVP with your name and email on this spreadsheet. \nTo facilitate a focused discussion\, we set a cap of 12 participants per meeting (with a waiting list in case of increased interest). \nThe last session of the term will be led by Shawn Yi-Jones. \nReading: \nSzulc\, L. (2019). Profiles\, identities\, data: Making abundant and anchored \nselves in a platform society. Communication Theory \, 29 (3)\, 257-276. \n  \nThese meetings are intended to be in-person\, but there is a hybrid option available; if you require this accommodation\, please let us know.

SUMMARY:Digital Decay Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a hands-on workshop that explores the generative potential of decay in digital and material images. From corrupted files to faded photocopies\, we will use processes like hacking\, glitching\, scanning and printing. Inspired by Hito Steyerl’s In Defence of the Poor Image and Legacy Russell’s Glitch Feminism\, we’ll rethink the aesthetics of deterioration. How can the ruin of an imager an archive or document open up new creative pathways? \nThis workshop is hosted by the Textiles & Materiality cluster and organized wit the support from Dr. Miranda Smitheram\, as part of a Milieux Institute Invrestigations micro grant. \nThis workshop is part of the Milieux Experiential Learning Workshop Series\, check out the full schedule here. \n  \n \n  \nAbout the Workshop Facilitators: \nMorris Fox (he/they) is a queer-gothic artist/writer\, and an Interdisciplinary Humanities PhD candidate at Concordia (Tiohtiá:ke-Mooniyang-Montréal). Fox’s practice cruises the haunted house for feelings of community. Words and materials become a net that enmeshes\, becoming a necropolis\, a cemetery of desire. He interconnects eco-poetry\, self-performance\, VR\, video\, textiles\, chainmaille\, with queer material research\, rubbing against ruins of memory\, shimmering with apocalyptic imaginaries. His work seeks to “put the fun in funeral.” \nAlexey Lazarev (he/him) is a multidisciplinary visual artist and third year Print MFA student at Concordia\, exploring different facets of queer identities and migration: conflicts between personal and collective memories\, formation and evolution of hybrid identities and the emotional side of belonging to a marginalized community. He investigates these themes using personal and found archives. Fascinated by how centuries-old methods of imagemaking adapt to the needs of contemporary society\, Lazarev examines the interplay between print traditions and emergent technologies\, focusing on the unorthodox application of print media\, such as alternative ways of editioning\, the use of 2D prints to create 3D installations and relief transfer on surfaces such as clay or plaster\, creating his own material ecologies. \n  \n🗓 September  9\, 2025\n🕒 1-5 PM\n📍Textiles and Materiality Cluster EV 10.730 \n🎟️ To register please confirm your spot by emailing T&M Cluster Coordinator

SUMMARY:Crafting Indigiqueer Futures: Zine Making Workshop 2
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, the IFRC is inviting you to attend a series of events on the theme of Indigiqueer Joy! In the context of queer and Indigenous communities\, joy is not merely an emotion but an act of resistance\, survival\, and a framework for building liberatory futures. In this series\, you will explore: What is revealed when we tell our own stories? How can we reclaim and craft our own narratives collectively? And how can speculative fiction allow us to envision alternative futures? Drawing from both his experience in comics-making and the themes explored by the screened animated shorts\, IFRC Communications Coordinator Milo Puge will be leading two zine-making workshops exploring the nuances of joy. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOP: \nParticipants will be invited to create their very own zines using collage\, drawing\, and/or writing with a collection of art supplies. They will be given open prompts to interpret joy and future in reflection\, collective conversation\, and making. \n  \nThese workshops are free and intended for Indigenous and/or 2SLGBTQIA+ people. \n  \n🗓: August 7\, 2025\n🕒: 6-8 PM\n📍: IFRC HQ EV 10.705 \n🎟️ Please register here.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Nadia Myre and Skawennati
DESCRIPTION:Join IFRC for a special artist talk featuring artists Skawennati and Nadia Myre\, two leading figures in contemporary Indigenous art in Canada. This event celebrates their landmark solo exhibitions currently on view at the National Gallery of Canada: Welcome to the Dreamhouse and Waves of Want. These exhibitions offer a rich look at each artist’s evolving practice and their influential contributions to Indigenous visual culture\, digital media\, and storytelling. \nModerated by artists and Studio Arts Professor\, Hannah Claus\, this conversation will bring the two artists in dialogue\, offering insights into their respective creative journeys\, conceptual frameworks\, and shared commitments to community\, memory\, and futurity. \nABOUT THE EXHIBITIONS: \nWelcome to the Dreamhouse tells the story of Skawennati’s dynamic artistic trajectory as she envisions Indigenous people in the future. Rooted in Haudenosaunee storytelling\, her avatars\, costumes\, machinimas and prints playfully imagine and create a place where Indigenous people thrive. \nWaves of Want looks at Nadia Myre’s artistic and critical process over the past two decades\, including exciting new works recently created in France. Navigating complex histories of nationhood and memory\, her work fosters profound dialogues on collective identity\, resilience\, and the politics of belonging. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nSkawennati creates art from her perspective as an urban Kanien’kehá:ka woman\, and as a cyberpunk avatar. Her machinimas and machinimagraphs (movies and still images made in virtual environments)\, textiles and sculpture question our relationships with technology\, and highlight Indigenous people of the future. Recipient of a 2022 Hewlett 50 Arts Commissions Grant and an Honorary Doctorate from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design\, Skawennati co-directs Aboriginal Territories in Cyberspace (AbTeC)\, a research-creation studio-lab at Concordia University in Montreal. She is also on the boards of Rhizome\, and of daphne: Montreal’s first Indigenous artist-run centre\, which she-co-founded. Originally from Kahnawà:ke\, Skawennati resides in Montreal. \n  \nContemporary artist Nadia Myre is an Algonquin member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation\, who lives and works in Montreal. For more than two decades\, her multi-disciplinary practice has included stitchwork\, photography\, video\, sculpture\, textiles and installation – inspired by community participation and relations\, while also exploring themes such as resilience\, language\, memory and longing. Myre’s art examines what is misunderstood\, unseen\, or lost in transformation and translation\, and reflects shared experiences of nationhood\, belonging\, and isolation. \n  \nHannah Claus is a transdisciplinary artist of Kanien’kehá:ka / English heritage who engages Onkwehon:we epistemology to highlight ways of understanding and being in relation with the world. A 2019 Eiteljorg Fellow and 2020 recipient of the Prix Giverny\, recent group exhibitions include: Wheturangitia at The Dowse\, in Aotearoa\, the touring exhibition Radical Stitch at the McKenzie Art Gallery in Regina\, and Plastic Heart at the University of Toronto Art Gallery and the Centre Culturelle Canadien in Paris\, France. She is an Associate Professor\, Frameworks and Interventions of Indigenous Art Practice in the Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University\, and Research Chair\, Onkwehonwené:ha. She is a member of Kenhtèke. \n  \n  \n🗓: July 3\, 2025\n🕒: 6 PM\n📍: York Amphitheâtre EV-1.615 \n🔗 : Zoom link

SUMMARY:Augmented Reality Soundwalking Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Discover a new way to experience the city.\nABOUT THE WORKSHOP: \nLed by PhD Candidate Amanda Gutiérrez\, this workshop invites you to immerse yourself in Montreal’s urban environment\, focusing on its soundscapes and the architectural echoes that define its character. In this workshop\, we will stroll through the streets and listen to urban architecture\, soundscapes\, and their socio-cultural layers. Through counter-mapping we will identify the sonic landmarks that contrast and amplify our spatial meanings. This activity will help us plan a score and a walking itinerary. We will map and trace these spatial relations to develop an Augmented Reality (AR) soundwalk informed by our situated meanings\, creatively sense and discuss the location’s visible\, audible\, and symbolic layers to co-create its sound design. We will learn to use the custom-made AR platform ECHOES\, which gives users access to its web-based interface. The workshop will focus on how AR technology operates through geolocation and movement\, while the sound design will extend into the spatial dimension. \nWe aim to create a group AR soundwalk to highlight the participants’ experiences and their designs. This intuitive relationship will help foster group dynamics by offering sound grounding exercises in listening positionality. The AR walk developed during the workshop will be presented to the public and collectively amplified. \nNo previous experience is needed in sound or web development. \n  \nABOUT AMANDA GUTIERREZ: \nAmanda Gutiérrez (she/her) was initially trained as a stage designer\, studying at The National School of Theater in Mexico. Presently\, Gutiérrez uses a range of media\, such as sound and performance art\, to investigate the aural culture of everyday life. Gutierrez is actively advocating for listening practices while being one of the board of directors of the World Listening Project\, formerly working with The Midwest Society of Acoustic Ecology\, and currently as the scientific comitée of the Red Ecología Acústica México. Currently\, she is a Ph.D. student at Concordia University and a research assistant at lab PULSE and Acts of Listening Lab. \n  \n  \n🗓 June 19-20\, 2025\n⏱️ 2-5 PM\n📍LePARC Performance Lab\n🎟️  Reserve your spot here

SUMMARY:Epistemological Foundations Conversation 08
DESCRIPTION:Join Abundant Intelligences for Epistemological Foundations #08. This session will focus on policy and governance of AI\, addressing how decision-making structures\, regulatory frameworks\, and governance models shape the development and deployment of AI technologies. Our experienced panelists will consider how their work contributes to uncovering and shaping the conditions under which AI operates. \nIn this discussion\, we will consider how Indigenous epistemologies can inform AI governance\, moving beyond dominant paradigms to embrace relational\, land-based\, and community-centered approaches. What does it mean to govern AI in ways that uphold Indigenous sovereignty\, data governance\, and self-determination? How can policy frameworks integrate principles of relational accountability\, respect for more-than-human intelligence\, and collective consent? \nThe Epistemological Foundations Conversations feature members of the Abundant Intelligences research team sharing how the knowledge frameworks in their field are constructed\, validated\, and employed. This session will provide an opportunity to dive deeper into what it means to bring together Data Sovereignty and AI. \nABOUT THE SPEAKERS: \nFenwick McKelvey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University.

SUMMARY:Embodied Interventions: Ruminations on Plurality
DESCRIPTION:Embodied Interventions\, LePARC’s signature event\, is coming back for its 6th edition on May 17 & 18!  \nCurated by Esteban Donoso and Michele Fiedler\, this year’s program\, titled Ruminations on Plurality\, will consist of a series of exchanges\, workshops and performances where participants can act as an intruder’s eye on each other’s proposals in order to signal towards questions\, concerns and opacities and to provide different perspectives. We will approach performance through ruminating\, as in deploying repetitive ways of relating to our environments and processing information. By attending to the plurality of identities that dwell within our hybrid bodies\, we aim to get in touch with movements and voices that display multiple influences.  \n​ \nOn May 17 and May 18\, public presentations of these processes will be shown at 4 different venues around the downtown Concordia University campus. These presentations are free\, and open to the public. \n  \nABOUT THE WORKSHOPS: \nHannah Schallert – “Improvisation and Creation Workshop: Talking and Moving With Animation Software” \n \nThis workshop will introduce participants to a methodology for improvisation and choreographic creation inspired by the movement concepts and tools of computer animation software. Drawing on close embodied study and iterative group discussion\, we will attend to the language and imagery of specific video excerpts from online software tutorials and interviews with animators as the jumping off point for generating choreographic gestures\, phrases\, and states. The workshop will include small group exploration as well as collective sharing and discussion of our experiences and findings.\n\nThis workshop requires you to sign up in advance by emailing hannah.schallert@gmail.com\nMore information about the workshop can be found here.\n.\n.\n.\nAybüke Özel + Yuki Kéké Tam – “Gestures of Care Workshop”\nOur workshop has two parts: discussion and movement. We will start with a common gesture of care—the sharing of food. While participants snack and drink tea\, we will begin by discussing care and its meanings. What does it look like? Is it big or small or in-between? What does it mean to each of us\, personally? We will investigate the definition\, spectrum\, limitations\, and embodied gestures of care we all carry through conversation. While theoretical language and ideas are encouraged\, this is meant to establish camaraderie\, comfort\, and trust between participants. The second part of this workshop will be movement-based. Participants will be led in bodily explorations rooted in vocabularies of dance and the everyday.\n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n🗓May 17-18\, 2025\n📍Video Production Studio\, LePARC Performance Lab\, Black Box\, Mini Box\n  \n

SUMMARY:LUDODROME
DESCRIPTION:Let’s get together! Everyone is busy but it’s time to renew connections – to share what we’ve been making\, and to hang out together. \nLUDODROME proposes to bring together an inspiring collection of 40 experimental games in the SAT’s downstairs space on May 15th for an evening of conversation and PLAY. \nWhile Montréal has a solid ecosystem to support games as an industry (MIGS\, La Guilde\, Zone Indie\, etc.) we are missing venues that highlight games for their artistic\, innovative and critical approaches (whether commercial or not). In 2018 the Mount-Royal Games Society closed its doors after almost eight years of inspiring meet-ups\, and FLOP suspended its activities in 2020. Since then\, other than a small number of art game exhibitions such as the one organized by Sporobole in 2022\, there have been a (very) few opportunities to celebrate experimental games. What happened to the energy? What’s happening with experimental games now in Montreal? What even are experimental games now? \nWe want to find exciting games wherever they can be found – solo work\, indie and artists’ studio work\, and\, of course\, university research-creation initiatives; local games that beat with the experimental impulse\, that explore new\, wonderful\, and eccentric mechanics\, narratives\, aesthetics and formats. \nSchedule: \n\n13h – 18h: Come play our games!\n18h – 23h: Evening expo (with cash bar service / refreshments)\n\n  \nThis event is open to ALL and FREE! \n  \n🗓 May 15\, 2025\n⏱️ 1-11 PM\n📍SAT\, 1201\, Boulevard Saint-Laurent\, Montreal\n🎟️  Reserve your spot here\n\n\nThis event is supported by Hexagram Research Centre (Concordia)\, the Behaviour Interactive Research Chair in Game Design (Concordia)\, the Chaire de Recherche en Économie Créative et mieux-être FRQSC (Axe créativiténumérique\, NAD-UQAC) and Milieux (Concordia).

SUMMARY:Chronicle of a Summer\, Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:After 2.5 years of enriching and insightful conversations around ethnography and film\, mark your calendars for the last Ethnography Lab Film Night hosted by the wonderful Maya 😢 \nFor the occasion\, the Concordia Ethnography Lab is excited to partner up with Cinéma Public to screen the audacious and touching film Chronicle of a Summer. The film is a vanguard work of cinéma-vérité (cinéma of truth)\, term coined to refer to both the philosophical and ethnographic inquiries of filmmakers like Jean Rouch and Edgar Morin. The screening will be followed by a discussion on Cinéma-vérité and Cinéma-direct with Maya Lamothe-Katrapani of the Ethnography Lab and Richard Brouillette\, film producer\, director\, editor and programmer. Tw o other screenings are scheduled on May 4th and May 12th\, but the discussion will only be on April 30th. \n  \nABOUT THE FILM: \nChronicle of a Summer\, 1961 (86 min) \nIn the summer of 1960\, anthropologist filmmaker Jean Rouch and sociologist Edgar Morin set out to chronicle the everyday lives of Parisians using a mixture of intimate interviews\, debates and observations. Beginning with the provocative and eternal question “Are you happy?” and expanding to political issues\, including the ongoing Algerian War\, artists\, factory workers\, office employees\, students and others open up to the camera to share their experiences\, fears and aspirations. The result became one of the decade’s most influential films\, and redefined the documentary form. \n  \n \n\n🗓 April 30\, 2025 ⏱️ 6 PM\nThis session will be followed by a discussion between Maya and Richard Brouillette\n\n🗓 May 4\, 2025 ⏱️ 8 PM\n🗓 May 12\, 2025 ⏱️ 6 PM\n\n📍Cinema Public\, Casa d’Italia\, 505 Jean Talon E (via Berri)\n\n🎟️  Purchase your ticket here\n\n.\nThis screening received generous support from the Concordia Council on Student Life\n\n.
