Building a DIY Literary Career w/ Michelle Tea
How to create a vibrant, glamorous, engaged, excited and perhaps even
profitable literary career without a big publisher, publicist, or
agent in advance. Discussion will explore various literary
communities, literary organizing, national reading series, how to
create your own reading series, how to take your show on the road,
communicating with bookstores, self-publishing, and collaborations.
Michelle Tea is the co-founder of the long-running Sister Spit open
mic series and original Sister Spit tours. She is the founder and
director of RADAR Productions, which runs a monthly reading series at

Memoirs of the Formative Years
w/ Len Plass
In this workshop we will have an open discussion on writing memoirs with a
focus on childhood. Topics will include: how to write from the
perspective of a child while maintaining a mature tone, mixing
fiction into memoir and whether this is morally and honestly
legitimate, and the emotional ramifications of writing about things
you'd otherwise rather forget.  We will also take time to write
and some people will be able to share their work for some good old
fashioned critiquing.

Quit Your Job w/ Elisha Lim
In this workshop, Elisha will facilitate a conversation about sustainable
unemployment. Share your ideas about how to live off grants,
bursaries, merchandising and freelancing, minimal rent, travel and
food expenses, and how to basically do nothing but what you love.
Elisha hasn't had a real job in 4 years in Toronto, Montreal and
Berlin.

2:30-4:30
Zines & Feminism (Plus a little 101) w/ Nicole J. Georges
This
workshop discusses the importance of alternative media for social
change, both historically and in contemporary culture. Zines are
shown as a device for grassroots organizing in the Riot Grrrl
movement. Students discuss basic feminism and learn to critically
discuss the media around them. This workshop can be linked with Zines
101, giving students the opportunity to create their own media
on-site.

Trans 101 w/ Annie Danger
In this one and one-half hour
workshop, transsexual activist and performance artist Annie Danger
takes participants through the basics of transsexual and transgender
awareness. Participants learn key terms and ideas, discuss tenets of
trans-awareness, learn the finer points of acting as an ally, get to
ask and answer the awkward questions, and examine personal
experiences from within the seminar group. Annie Danger has worked
independently doing Trans 101 workshops based on training she
received through TransAction in 2000-2002. TransAction was a
transgender activist collective focused on securing transgender
rights in all sectors of society with an eye toward the complex
intersections of race, class, and sexism as they affect transgender
individuals. Annie also worked a short time with TGVIPP, the Trans
and Gender Variant in Prison Project and with CUAV, the Community
United Against Violence.

2:30-4:30
Trespass This! w/ Silas Howard

A DIY film workshop focusing on using fiction and metaphor to tell personal
stories. This workshop/practicum examines the relationships between
voice, style and language along with issues of memory, identity, and
desire. Through hands-on scene study, writing activities, and
examining model films, participants will come away with story telling
strategies for approaching the different phases of film and other
narrative forms. In particular, the workshop will explore the
representation of outsider stories, new voices, and transgressive
narratives in stories and film. Participants of all levels are
encouraged to attend, but no previous experience is necessary.

News Release: Women sit-in at Minister’s office, demand restored funds to Aboriginal Healing Foundation
By ADMIN | Published: MARCH 29, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monday, March 29, 2010

Six women sit in at Indian Affairs Minister’s office: pledge to stay until Conservatives restore funding to Aboriginal Healing Foundation

OTTAWA – Today at noon six women began a peaceful sit-in in the Minister of Indian Affairs’ Chuck Strahl’s Ottawa office in the Confederation Building to protest the Conservatives’ cuts to the Aboriginal Healing Foundation (AHF) and to demand restoration of the funding. Supporters are holding a rally outside. The Aboriginal Healing Foundation is a non-profit, Aboriginal-managed agency which supports community-based healing efforts addressing the intergenerational legacy of abuses from the residential school system.

“It’s been less than two years since Prime Minister Harper’s apology to survivors of the residential schools, yet the Conservative government is ready to shut down programs specifically aimed at helping the healing the Prime Minister spoke about,” says Maya Rolbin-Ghanie, a member of Missing Justice, a Montreal-based grassroots organization.

The Conservative budget did not renew funding to the 134 AHF-supported healing projects across the country, forcing many organizations to shut down as of March 31, 2010, when the cuts take effect.

“Strahl says the government will support residential school survivors in other ways, but these cuts will jeopardize many vital programs and interrupt all the progress being made towards health and well-being,” says Nakuset, the Executive Director of the Native Women’s Shelter in Montreal, which will lose a third of its funding and be forced to cut three employes, including a sexual assault counselor.

An evaluation commissioned by the federal government in December 2009 found that no other existing programs could match the AHF’s rate of success. They also applauded the organization’s fiscal management.[1]

“The Conservative government is letting down thousands of survivors and their children and grandchildren suffering inter-generational trauma,” says Bianca Mugyenyi, a member of Missing Justice. “The situation is urgent enough to call for a peaceful sit-in, since open letters, petitions, lobbying and a resolution passed by the Nunavut government have not succeeded in restoring the funding.”

The Aboriginal Healing Foundation is prohibited from engaging in advocacy by its Funding Agreement.

WSSA & the 2110 Centre for Gender
Advocacy present a double dose of filmmaker Gwen Haworth! Both events
are free, in accessible spaces and there is childcare available, just
let us know! wssa.concordia@gmail.com

*Workshop – The Importance
of trans self-representations, auto-ethnographies and DIY film-making
6pmTuesday March 30th, 2010 @ 2110
Centre For Gender Advocacy 2110 McKay

This workshop will deal
with the importance of self-representation through media tools like DIY
film-making and auto-ethnographies. Gwen
will discuss her process of film-making, as well as offer a critical
review of the construct of objective filmmaking. Haworth
embraces a point of view approach that strives for empathy and
collective
storytelling. This workshop will be both informative and interactive!

*FILM SCREENING – She’s A Boy I Knew 6pm Wednesday March 31st, 2010 @ room
VA 114, 1395 René Lavesque – in
association with Queer Cinema

Guaranteed to be the most
compelling DIY, gender bending, feel good film directed by a transsexual
lesbian you’ve seen all year!

Using
archival family footage, interviews, phone messages, and animation,
Haworth’s documentary She’s a Boy I Knew begins in 2000 with Steven
Haworth’s decision to come out to his family about his life-long female
gender identity.
The resulting auto-ethnography is not only an
exploration into the filmmaker’s process of transition from biological
male to female, from Steven to Gwen, but also an emotionally charged
account of the individual experiences, struggles, and stakes that her
two sisters, mother, father, best friend and wife brought to Gwen’s
transition.
As her transition progresses, Gwen is forced to reckon
with the end of her marriage and the loss of her status as son and
brother. But in doing so, she also discovers that while the nature of
personal relationships may change, the love and support present within
those relationships can remain just as powerful and sometimes even more
so.
At turns painful, funny, and awkward, She’s A Boy I Knew explores the
frustrations, fears, questions, and hopes experienced by Gwen and
her family as they struggle to understand and embrace her newly revealed
identity.

*We will have director Gwen Haworth in attendance, so
join us for a Q&A after the screening!

BUILDING ABOLITION FUTURES
Feminist Troubles with Protection in a Prison Nation
a panel & discussion featuring Erica Meiners followed by a presentation by
the Prisoner Correspondence Project

THURSDAY, MARCH 18th, 2010
4:30-6:30pm
H-760 (7th floor, Hall Building, 1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. West)

Using recent work by anti-prison theorists and community-based activists who
are working against prison industrial complex in the US, this talk links
prison abolition to feminist frameworks to question escalating sex offender
registries and community notification laws that are the state’s response to
sexual violence against children and women. This will be followed by a
discussion on the queer history of sex offender registries in the United
States and their growth in the last two decades, the foundation of
current shifts in the U.S. juvenile justice system, and using abolition
as a possible framework to shift public dialogues about safety as well as
conceptions of childhood and family.

This event is wheelchair accessible; elevators are located on the ground
floor of the Hall Building, accessible via de Maisonneuve or Bishop street
entrances. If you require childcare for this event, please contact us 48
hours before the event.

The Prisoner Correspondence Project is a working group of the Quebec Public
Interest Research Group (QPIRG) at Concordia University and an affiliate

–Please forward widely–

Dear colleagues:

I received an urgent message from Lisa Montgomery
(associated to the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal)
and have basically pasted info from it in the paragraphs
and sentences that follow.

The Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal is in need of our help.
They need a physical presence at a women’s policy meeting
with Michael Ignatieff scheduled this coming Sunday to support
the shelter as they present a brief and look for political support
from members of parliament.

As you may know, in celebration of International Women’s week
Mr. Harper et al. have just cut funding to the Aboriginal Healing
Program. This program is to deal with residential school fall out
(intergenerational effects of psychological, addiction, physical
abuse). The Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal will see a
catastrophic reduction in funding due to this cut. This will result
in the removal of aboriginal cultural programming on health and
healing, not to mention that the positions being cut are occupied
by aboriginal women themselves. This move contradicts the thrown
speech not to mention all of the Conservatives boasting vis-a-vis
aboriginals, employment and womens’ issues.

In collaboration with the shelter and 145 other aboriginal
organizations that will be effected, Lisa is presently working
on a brief and communication plan dealing with the effects
of the cuts.

The Native Women’s Shelter (NWSM) provides a safe environment
where women can begin to rebuild their lives. They offer support
and frontline services to Aboriginal women and children to promote
their empowerment and independence. The NWSM is the only
women’s shelter in Montreal that provides services exclusively to
Aboriginal and Inuit women and their children. The NMSM can
accommodate up to 16 women and children per night.

Lisa mentions that it is crucial that we rally in order to take
advantage of the leader of the opposition being in Montreal.
We need this being spoken about in parliament as the cuts
take hold as of March 31, 2010. It may merely be two hours
of your time but the visual of great numbers of women coming
out in support of this will hopefully ensure that this issue gets
spoken about.

Please confirm your attendance by sending a quick note to Lisa <lisamontgomery@sympatico.ca>

Thanks in advance for your support!

Date: Sunday, March 14, 2010

Time: 1:30 PM to 2:30 PM
