Starting off with a spectacular collaborative sound-making/spoken word workshop and performance by the band LAL, founded by Rosina Kazi and Nicholas Murray, Agnes launches the events for this year’s orientation week, welcoming new and returning students to campus!

Creating and recording a musical background with found sounds and our bodies (hands, mouths, feet!) as well as a poetry / spoken word / abstract word pieces, the workshop is both a collaborative process and an introduction to recording and sound creation. The workshop is open to all, regardless of previous experience (or no experience at all!) and each participant takes home an mp3 of the collective work created.

LAL has been performing and recording for over 20 years and has been conducting sound workshops all over the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). They provide workshops that utilize anti-oppression and feminist practices. Respect being key in how they work with community.

As we approach National Day for Truth and Reconciliation let us take this opportunity to reflect on our individual and collective responsibilities to fulfill the TRC’s recommendations as educators and to support the struggle for Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination.

This workshop touches on forms of pedagogy that prioritize a no-border approach to teaching, how that extends into centering diasporic experiences and community relations in moving beyond predetermined structures/cannons. How does imagining a world without prisons, police, and military help us to think of what we value as educators; how does this approach inform cross-cultural solidarities; how do we put that into practice by centring relationships, building trust, focusing on care, and hospitality?

Facilitated by Nasrin Himada, Associate Curator of Academic Outreach and Community Engagement, with special guest speakers Juliane Okot Bitek, Vanessa Thompson, and Melissa Houghtaling
