SUMMARY:Is the Crown at War with Us? - Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free public film screening of\n“Is the Crown at War with Us?” (2002\, 97mins) \nPaul O’Regan Hall \nhttps://www.cinemapolitica.org/film/crown-war-us \nIt was the summer of 2000 and the country watched with disbelief as federal fishery officers appeared to wage war on the Mi’gmaq fishermen of Esgenoopetitj\, or Burnt Church\, New Brunswick. Why would officials of the Canadian government attack citizens for exercising rights that had been affirmed by the highest court in the land? What happened at Burnt Church? \nAlanis Obomsawin casts her cinematic and intellectual nets into history to provide a context for the events on Miramichi Bay. Delineating the complex roots of the conflict with passion and clarity\, she builds a persuasive defence of the Mi’gmaq position.\nAdmission is always free and films are all open to the public. Followed by moderated discusssion. \nThe The Radical Imagination Project\, in partnership with the Cinema Politica Network and the Halifax Public Libraries is pleased to bring you this series of documentary films to stir the sould and evoke the struggle for a better society. Please see our other events for more information\, or visithttp://radicalimagination.org/

SUMMARY:Book Launch for Notes From a Feminist Killjoy by Erin Wunker
DESCRIPTION:The non-fiction essays that make up Notes from a Feminist Killjoy: Essays on Everyday Life attempt to think publicly about why we need feminism\, and especially why we need the figure of the feminist killjoy\, now. From the complicated practices of being a mother and a feminist\, to building friendship amongst women as a community-building and -sustaining project\, to writing that addresses rape culture from the Canadian context and beyond\, Notes from a Feminist Killjoy invites the reader into a conversation about gender\, feminism\, and living in our inequitable world. \n“Erin Wunker’s Notes from a Feminist Killjoy takes up the figure of the feminist killjoy as a site of political potential\, and as a life method\, a way of handling situations that are difficult and demanding: from becoming a mother\, living in a gendered body\, to dealing with rape culture. All feminist killjoys will want this book on their shelves!” — Sara Ahmed \n“I’m grateful for this smart and irreverent book\, which so clearly and unapologetically says all the things I’ve been feeling but haven’t been able to articulate.” — Megan Leslie
