Upcoming Shows

April 30:  Can nude protest ever be feminist? A recent calendar that came out, called the Nude Photo Revolutionary Calendar, has created controversy among feminists. Are photos of naked women really “revolutionary”? Meghan Murphy speaks with Azar Majedi, an Iranian writer, women’s rights activist, and lecturer about her critiques of the calendar and arguments around “choice” and the “breaking of taboos” which often defend nude protest as a feminist act.

May 7:  The F Word explores feminist debates and conversations around transgenderism and looks at why it’s so difficult for media and feminists alike to cover these debates and have these conversations respectfully and honestly. Featuring interviews with Sheila Jeffreys, feminist scholar, political activist, and professor in Political Science at the University of Melbourne in Australia; Barb Besharat, the Healthy TransActions Project Coordinator at The
519 Church Street Community Centre (LGBTTQ space) in Toronto; and Susan Stryker, Ph.D. Director, Institute for LGBT Studies, Associate Professor, Gender and Women’s Studies, University of Arizona

May 14:  A celebration of Canadian women’s music

May 28: Slutwalk revisited. A year later, is Slutwalk a movement or a moment? Reflecting back on critiques and whether there is a future for these events.
