SUMMARY:Queers in Carhartts
DESCRIPTION:By Devin West and Shift Change Halifax\n \nFilm Screening and Exhibition//Artist & Researcher Q&A \nQueers in Carhartts is an art exhibition\, film screening\, and research launch\, documenting the unique challenges and practices of resilience by queer and trans people working in skilled trades labour. QiC is a hybrid of qualitative research investigating the lived experiences of 2SLGBTQ+ people in skilled trades in Nova Scotia\, and a collaborative\, community-building\, creative documentation of the first-person authority of some of those experiences and survival strategies. Community collaborations feature local artist Andrew Deveaux for filmography\, Winnipeg musician and sound artist\, Kitz Willman on sound\, and sculptor-researcher (carpenter)\, Devin West on research and artistic direction. Join us in launching our exhibition\, film screening and research report at Queers in Carhartts. \n    \n \nResearch and art facilitated by YWCA Halifax Shift Change Project @shiftchangehalifax\, funded by Women and Gender Equity Canada. Thank you to our supporters: WAGE Canada\, Wisdom2Action\, WiSTAN and Titiklie Workplace Safety. \n\n \nDevin West is a sculptor and art-researcher\, based in Kjipuktuk/Halifax. Working with found objects\, artifacts and other sensory ghosts of identity\, West builds and stitches sculptures into structures of feeling in suspension with queer grief and grievance. \n \nAndrew Deveaux (he/they) is a white settler media artist\, poet and filmmaker based in Kjipuktuk\, Mi’kma’ki (Halifax\, NS). His work exists in conversation with queer subjectivity; examining the limits of memory\, identity and space as they relate to—and are regulated by—systems of power. Andrew holds a Bachelor of Arts from Queen’s University and a post-baccalaureate certificate in expanded media from NSCAD. His work has screened across Canada and internationally. \n \nKitz Willman is a producer\, songwriter\, rapper\, and multi-instrumentalist based in Winnipeg\, Manitoba\, Treaty 1 whose work needles experimental sonics into a sample-based hip-hop approach to production. From prairie rap and sound collage to Ukrainian-Canadian folksongs full of saxophone squeals\, there’s dissonance\, unpredictability\, and jazz embedded in each composition.
