SUMMARY:Working Class Heritage Tour: By Choice Or By Force
DESCRIPTION:3rd edition tour with a new itinerary!\nThe 2024 Working Class Heritage Tour will focus on the story of immigrants and migrants to Halifax\, both those who came by choice\, force or a lack of other options.

Engaging the public through stories they may have some familiarity with\, such as the story of Black sleeping car porters and the Acadian Expulsion\, this tour will also introduce lesser known stories\, like the story of who built the forts in the harbour\, the Chinese community who found a home in Halifax\, and the Lebanese and Syrian immigrants who worked as peddlers and the enslaved people who were sold on the Halifax waterfront. We will also talk about the lost community of Greenbank\, located in the South End and the nearby foundries that employed people in dangerous work that kept the province running. This tour will be of particular interest to those from racialized and migrant communities who do not always see themselves reflected in the stories about the province’s history. \nWith Labour folklorist\, Emma Lang\nEmma Lang is a public heritage professional\, folklorist and tour guide.

SUMMARY:Resting Space
DESCRIPTION:A Workshop by Becoming Old Growth\nWhat is your relationship with rest? Our personal experiences with burnout led us to global rest movements and the anti-capitalist rest manifesto of “Nap Bishop” Tricia Hersey. What changes when we recognize exhaustion as a collective issue rather than a personal one? In this three-hour workshop\, we invite participants into a guided\, communal resting space. Through gentle\, unstructured  opportunities to listen\, write\, draw\, move\, and make sound—or simply rest—the artists will guide participants to reflect on these  questions\, emphasizing the role of rest as a natural and necessary balance to labour. \nParticipants will be invited to share their ideas and experiences with the artists following the workshop session. Cushions and blankets will be available and you are welcome to bring your own comfort items to use during the workshop. \nRegistration Details\nPlease register in advance via this registration form: \n>>REGISTER HERE \nAge:\nWorkshop geared for adults and mature youth. No arts experience required. \nAccessibility:\nPlease indicate accessibility needs in the registration form by Monday\, April 29th. \nNote:\nWe will try to accommodate accessibility requests\, however we cannot guarantee as all requests can be met. We will email you if we cannot fulfill your request. \nChildcare:\nOn site childcare available upon request\, please fill out child care info in the registration form above and submit by Monday\, April 29th. \n \n\nAbout Becoming Old Growth:\nBecoming Old Growth is a multidisciplinary\, participatory trio that uses sound\, listening\, movement and poetry to encourage a deeper inhabitation of place\, awakening our selves and senses to the future already enfolded within past and present. BOG’s kinetic name\, inspired by a provocative article by Dan Longboat and Joe Sheridan\, reflects our shared desires to learn\, evolve\, and deepen our understandings\, as non-Indigenous residents of Mi’kma’ki\, of “the relationship between where one is and what one thinks”. In their article\, Longboat and Sheridan write that “Old growth minds…build an ecology of mind that stands in the middle of the  temporal arc to see future and past synchronically in equal bending horizons.” Contemplating the rhythms and cycles of the living earth through our work\, the histories of this place and its possible futures\, we take the first steps along a path to Becoming Old Growth—shifting away from disconnection and placelessness towards “recovering the necessary relationship between healthy ecologies of land and human minds.” \n \nLeft: Susanne Chui (Photo credit: Béatrice Schuler-Mojon)\nCentre: Erin Donovan (Photo credit: Courtney Mac Photography)\nRight: Basma Kavanagh (Photo credit: James Arthur MacLean) \nSocial Media Tags:\n@BOG_collective\n@chui.susanne\n@hearhereproductions\n@basma.kavanagh \n

His birthplace is home to anything but a thriving rap scene. He\, and the same fifteen faces\, are the scene. Darkness overtakes the Caribbean oasis\, and another Rap Night is underway. He performs to a small audience of supportive rap groups–people who helped him get his start. The moment is fleeting\, as conversations about Hull and his family moving to Canada are becoming much more serious. He would have to leave the rap community he helped build behind\, or at least for now. On the plane to Halifax\, Nova Scotia in 2013\, Hull is unknowingly being launched into a new phase of his identity. He will become known as Yohvn Blvck\, and usher in a new era of Canadian rap.” \n@yohvnblvck \n

SUMMARY:Working Class Heritage Tour: By Choice Or By Force
DESCRIPTION:3rd edition tour with a new itinerary!\nThe 2024 Working Class Heritage Tour will focus on the story of immigrants and migrants to Halifax\, both those who came by choice\, force or a lack of other options. It will shed light on how these people shaped the physical landscape of the city\, the lives of those who lived here and how their stories have been largely erased. Engaging the public through stories they may have some familiarity with\, such as the story of Black sleeping car porters and the Acadian Expulsion\, this tour will also introduce lesser known stories\, like the story of who built the forts in the harbour\, the Chinese community who found a home in Halifax\, and the Lebanese and Syrian immigrants who worked as peddlers and the enslaved people who were sold on the Halifax waterfront. We will also talk about the lost community of Greenbank\, located in the South End and the nearby foundries that employed people in dangerous work that kept the province running. This tour will be of particular interest to those from racialized and migrant communities who do not always see themselves reflected in the stories about the province’s history. \nWith Labour folklorist\, Emma Lang\nEmma Lang is a public heritage professional\, folklorist and tour guide. She’s been sharing her research and excitement in labour history to anyone interested for more than 20 years. \n \n>> Click here for detailed Accessibility Notes\n \nASL interpretation will be available on May 11.\n\n\n\nGreen Bank area\, 1953 – HRM Archives\nCharlie Wah laundry back room – Photo: J.J.

SUMMARY:Portrait of the Artist as an Essential Worker
DESCRIPTION:NEW: ASL interpretation will be available\n\n \n\nWork by Sarah Mosher and Hannah Genosko\nIn collaboration\, Mosher and Genosko use printmaking and textile processes to illustrate their experiences as essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. They are both professional artists who were employed in ‘casual’ day jobs in sectors that were labeled essential and became full-time during the COVID-19 pandemic: the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation and Canada Post\, respectively. With their similar experiences they dig deeper into the ‘essential’ label where art and work don’t often intersect. They explore the repetitive nature of labour through the repetitive nature of printmaking\, and create images relevant to their experience; the images are printed on the uniforms they and their coworkers wore during their time of essential sector work. Folk quilting traditionally uses old clothes and other found materials for utility\, and the shape of the garments inform the geometry of the quilt. The uniforms are sewn into quilted banners that do not follow a traditional repeating pattern or conform to a rectangle\, but rather use patchwork and appliqué techniques to create an uncertain feeling. This method reflects the ever-changing and disjointed nature of the pandemic. \nSarah’s instagram is @realpzzazz \nTwo large quilts on display at the Bus Stop Theatre\, April 1st to June 30th \nReception and Artist Talk\, May 3rd 5:00PM – 7:00PM \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Bread & Roses: Can You See Us?
DESCRIPTION:English & French bilingual performance | Performance bilingue anglais-français\n>>Register Here for FREE Childcare\nASL interpretation will be available\n\n \n“Bread and Roses: Can you see us?” is an original performance created by visual artist and labour organizer Tricia Robinson Illustration (she/her) and poet and social justice activist Laura Doyle Péan (they/them). This collaborative performance tackles topics of invisibilized labour\, union work\, collective liberation and the importance of solidarity in the face of intersecting social crises.  Building on their decade of community organizing experience within the labour\, racial\, social and climate justice movements\, the two tiohtià:ke/mooniyang (Montréal) based artists attempt to shine light on forms of labour that are too often hidden and devalued. \nLive on stage\, Tricia will create original visual artwork in several mediums as Laura Doyle Péan recites some of their moving poetry  with themes of domestic and care labour\, activism\, unions\, and freedom. The conception of Tricia’s art pieces will be projected onto a  screen\, allowing the audience to witness her creation process live and close up. The projection of her work will serve to honour the  labour and care that goes into creating illustrations\, embroideries and linocuts\, hence putting emphasis on our understanding of art as  labour\, as well as pridefully using mediums that have such a rich history within liberation and activist movements. Unapologetically feminist and pro-worker\, Tricia and Laura\, with care and devotion\, are using this performance as a way to open conversations about  the labour movement and unionism as a whole\, and the importance of recognizing forms of labour that have historically been  undervalued\, criminalized\, and disregarded. \n \n\nBios:\nTricia \nTricia Robinson is an illustrator\, photographer and labour organizer located in Montréal\, Canada. She has been working  creatively in whatever she can get her hands on since the early 2000s and has been a freelancer since 2013. Initially shying away from having personal politics and social issues merging with her work\, these themes are now what completely encompass her  creative work. Her work often adds elements of humour and hope to important topics like workers’ rights\, labour activism\, the perils  of capitalism on our well-being\, and the importance\, value\, and future liberation of the working class. She is a music college drop out  with self taught skills and a very strong determination to be her own boss. She also absorbed skills and experience from the  abundance of love\, support\, and skill sharing from her community. Her illustration career coincides with her work within labour  unions in Canada\, and her drive and desire to educate and authentically empower workers to collectively fight for their rights. She is part of the founding of Syndicat General in Montreal\, a new trade labour union that helps workers organize and build combative and  durable unions\, whether their workplace has 2-2000 employees. \nInstagram: @triciarobinsonillustration\nFacebook: www.facebook.com/triciarobinsonillustration\nWebsite: www.triciamakes.com \n  \nLaura: \nLaura Doyle Péan (they/them) is a 24-year-old queer Haitian-Quebecois multidisciplinaryartist\,  poet and activist whose  practice focuses on the role of art in social movements. Laura published their first book\, Cœur Yoyo\, in 2020. The English translation  of their book\, Yo-yo Heart\, came out in 2021 with the 87 press. Laura holds a column in the literary magazine Lettres Québécoises\,  and has published poems and short stories in many others. They are also a member of the editorial committee of the literary magazine  Moebius\, and have sat on many literary prize juries\, including\, most recently the jury for Radio-Canada’s poetry prize. Born in  Nionwentsïo (Quebec city)\, where they first got involved in intersectional feminist\, LGBTQIA2S+\, migrant justice and racial justice  organizing\, they moved to Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang (Montreal) in 2019\, to attend university. There\, they joined the fossil fuel  divestment movement\, and made their first steps in union organizing to fight for a better collective agreement for their coworkers and  themselves. These experiences led them to gain a renewed understanding of the inextricability of the struggles for workers’ rights and the struggles for climate justice. \nInstagram: @esmeralda_dpxx \nCredit for the photo of Laura: Amélie Marcil – https://www.facebook.com/ameliemarcilgraphiste \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Canadian Labour International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Mayworks Kjipuktuk/Halifax Festival of Working People in the Arts is proud to partner once again with the Canadian Labour International Film Festival for a satellite screening of films from their 15th annual festival.\n\nThe screening takes place November 10\, 7:30 PM\, at the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op.\n\nThis year\, we will be screening Bergie (South Africa) by Dian Weys\, Shiringa: Amazon White Gold (Peru) by Oscar Akamine\, Lentejas (Spain) by José A. Campos\, HongKongers:A Re-Collection – My Destiny or My Choice? (UK) by Green Bean Media\, Allegory (Spain) by Tino Fernández\, Puanum (Dream) (Canada) by Josée Benjamin\, and Serigne (Spain) by Rodrigo Hernandez Tejero\, Adriana Cardoso Navarro\, & Edu Marin.\nAll films are translated as needed through subtitles in English.\n\nTotal run time: 87 minutes. The screening will be followed by a moderated discussion for those interested.\n\nAdmission is by donation.\n\n\n\nTHE FILMS:\n\nBergie (South Africa) by Dian Weys (7 min)\nThe term “bergie” is a South Africanism that refers to people that are homeless. This short film presents the viewer with a problem – a law enforcement officer has to remove homeless people sleeping on a path in the city in order to make way for a 10km fun-run. To do this\, he has to wrestle with fundamental questions about the dignity of human life. Language: English & Afrikaans.\n\n\n\n\nShiringa: Amazon White Gold (Peru) by Oscar Akamine (9 min)\nThis documentary follows Jorge Escompani\, a “Shiringa” master\, as he shows us how he extracts natural latex from the Shiringa tree. The extraction of latex from the Shiringa tree has led to the death of thousands of indigenous people due to slavery during “the fever of latex” in the 19th century. Current practices reflect a respectful relationship between the trees and those who depend on it for survival. Language: English & Spanish.\n\n\n\n\nLentejas (Spain) by José A. Campos (8 min)\nA humorous look at the gig economy and what work is like right now for many white collar workers who have to hustle for every contract and need multiple contracts to make a living. Workers can be anywhere – it just depends on the backdrop\, and how long you can hold the illusion together.  “Lentils (Lentejas): if you want\, eat them; if you don’t\, leave them.” Language: Spanish.\n\n\n\n\nHongKongers:A Re-Collection – My Destiny or My Choice? (UK) by Green Bean Media (18 min)\nThis documentary follows the experience of Siu Tat MUNG\, who was a leader in the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU)\, as he recounts his experiences during the last few years it was in existence. HKCTU members voted to disband the union on October 3\, 2021\, following pro-democracy protests in 2019-2020. At least 29 Hong Kong trade unions were dissolved throughout 2021. Siu Tat Mung explains the conditions in Hong Kong and the reasons for asking his family to relocate to Great Britain. Through his story we are able to experience the difficult situation evolving for Trade Unionists and others working in Hong Kong in 2021. Language: Cantonese.\n\n\n\n\nAllegory (Spain) by Tino Fernández (13 min)\nTen participants are about to start a race in which the most important thing is not to win\, but to arrive\, in the race of their lives. This film is an allegory for the working class about class struggle and life. It raises good questions through its poetic approach about what life is all about. Language: Spanish.\n\n\n\n\nPuanum (Dream) (Canada) by Josée Benjamin (5 min)\nThis short documentary\, directed by an Innu filmmaker\, features Jordan\, a young french speaking\, indigenous fisherman. As we spend a typical day on his boat fishing for whelk\, he tells us the story of his journey towards becoming the captain of a fishing boat. Language: French.\n\n\n\n\n\nSerigne (Spain) by Rodrigo Hernandez Tejero\, Adriana Cardoso Navarro\, & Edu Marin. (27 min)\nIn this extraordinary documentary\, we follow Serigne Mbay\, a politician\, and his inspirational story\, as he works to educate his fellow citizens and politicians about the effects of current European fishing trade agreements on his home country of Senegal. The landscapes and the portraits of the people in this film are breathtakingly beautiful. Language: Spanish.

SUMMARY:This Body of Work
DESCRIPTION:Rendering\, reassembling\, and performing motherworlds\nBy the sense archive\nPresented by Eyelevel Artist-Run Centre in collaboration with Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery\n \nMay 26th – June 18th\nOpening Reception May 26th\, 6:00pm – 8:00pm \nRegular Visiting Hours: Tuesday – Sunday from 11:00am to 5:00pm \nLocation: Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery (923 Robie St) \nAdmission: FREE \nThis Body of Work is an interdisciplinary exhibition that grew from self-directed Artist Residencies in Motherhood (ARIM). This Body of Work explores critical feminist performance(s) of motherhood and maternal agency through lived bodily/cellular experiences and locates the body as the initial source and archive for the labour/work of the m/other. \nWe have created works that span photography\, sculpture\, sound\, video\, text\, new media\, and performance that consider themes of care\, trauma\, loss\, lineage\, identity\, emotional bonds\, oral/object histories\, and memory. \nWe expose the labour\, performance\, and experience of motherhood and have allowed it to inform our work. We use a critical feminist perspective to disrupt cultural and perceptual norms. We make the work and are the work. \nthe sense archive employs the word “mother’ as a verb in our approach and in considering our inclusive and extended audience—an audience that includes all those who mother. \nThe exhibition will take place from May 26th – June 18th at SMU Art Gallery with an opening reception and performances by Morgan and Douthwright on May 26th from 6PM to 8PM. \nThe exhibition will feature live performances by the artists at the opening reception and on the following dates: \nFriday May 26 @ 7pm\nSunday May 28 @ 2pm\nSunday June 4 @ 2pm\nFriday June 9 @ 7pm\nSunday June 11 @ 2pm\nSunday June 18 @ 2pm \nAbout the Artists:\nthe sense archive is interested in exploring\, reading\, and transcribing the body as the site of narratives that shape us as artists/mothers. We believe in activating research and artistic work that challenges patriarchal ideations of motherhood. We are focused on\, and committed to\, creating socially engaged work that values the body and the embodied experience. \nthe sense archive\, Ruth Douthwright (ON)\, Sally Morgan (NS)\, and Jessica Winton (NS)\, are white\, cis-gendered\, artists\, educators\, and mothers\, living and working in Kanata/Canada. Our initial collaborative efforts are focussed on developing our first major project in two parts—a live performance work and a gallery exhibition—titled This Body of Work. \nAbout Eyelevel:\nPrioritizing treaty\, accessibility\, and care\, Eyelevel supports the production and presentation of socially-engaged artistic practices through arts programming outside of the traditional white-wall gallery. \nProject Land Acknowledgement:\nWe acknowledge\, honour\, and are thankful for the land we live with and on. Sally and Jessica live in Kjipuktuk/Halifax located in Mi’kma’ki\, the unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi’kmaq\, Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet)\, and the Passamaquoddy signed in 1726. Ruth lives in London\, Ontario\, located on the traditional territories of the Anishinaabek\, Haudenosaunee\, Lūnaapéewak\, and Chonnonton Nations\, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum.

SUMMARY:A More Radiant Sphere
DESCRIPTION:By Sara Wylie\nPresented in partnership with Carbon Arc Cinema\n \nThursday\, May 18th @ 6:30pm \nLocation: Bus Stop Theatre Co-op (2203 Gottingen St) \nDuration: 40 mins followed by a 30 mins Q&A with filmmaker Sara Wylie moderated by MLA Gary Burrill [CC][ASL] \nTickets: $5/$10/$15 (Pay what you can) \nBUY TICKETS HERE\n \n[CC] This film will be closed captioned. \n[ASL] ASL Interpretation will be provided for the Q&A portion of the event. \nA mid-length hybrid documentary about Joe Wallace: Canadian Communist poet\, political prisoner\, and the filmmaker’’s long lost family member. Shot on 16mm and digital\, featuring original songs by award-winning musician Fiver/Simone Schmidt. \n“Poetry is of a higher order. It sets bells ringing in the mind of the reader so that he makes his own music …” \n \nNearly lost in the annals of Canadian history\, the writings of Joe Wallace—radical believer in socialist ideals\, writer of anti-capitalist verses\, and survivor of detainment by the Canadian government—have been revived by his great-great-niece\, director Sara Wylie. \nSearching through library archives\, family records\, and footage from the early decades of the Canadian settler state\, Wylie assembles the story of Wallace the poet and revolutionary. “The more I began looking for him\, the more I began to see parts of myself reflected\,” she says. His poems are spirited\, forthright and folksy; they recall a time of great political change and opportunity. \nInextricable from Wallace’s life and work is the history of Canada’s labour movement and the increasing involvement of the state in its disruption. A More Radiant Sphere captures a time and a feeling at risk of being erased by Canadian myth\, when the possibility of a world beyond capitalism surged forth into poetry. (Written by Sarah Bakke) \nThe film will be followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Sara Wylie moderated by Gary Burril\, MLA for Halifax Chebucto \n \nFilm Credits: \nDirected\, produced and written by Sara Wylie\nFeaturing Bruce Wallace \nMusic by Simone Schmidt\nWith Nick Dourado on piano\nNathan Doucet on percussion\nJohn Showman on fiddle \nCinematography by Suz Friesen and Sara Wylie\nSound recording by Kellen Jackson and Sara Wylie\nSound mix/edit by Michelle Hwu and Tim Atkins\nColour by Sam Gilling
