Jimmy Lizama is a mobility justice activist and the founder of the L.A. Bicycle Kitchen, the first bicycle co-op in the City of Angels. In the three decades since Jimmy opened the non-profit bike shop, a global network of independently owned and operated “bike kitchens” have cropped up – partly thanks to Jimmy’s vision. Jimmy and his son J.Q. set out on an European adventure, cycling from bike kitchen to bike kitchen, meeting the activists, artists, and organizers working to put transportation back into the hands of the people.

When Zainub Verjee, a Vancouver-based film programmer started the InVisible Colours women of colour film festival in 1988, she fully expected it to continue for years. So did Linda Abrahams (Matriart Journal) and Zanana Akande (Tiger Lily Women of Colour Magazine). Cutbacks, racism, and technological change decimated a sophisticated, world-changing feminist media movement. Long before the #MeToo era, feminist storytellers of the 1970s to 90s, from Halifax to Vancouver, took hold of cutting-edge analogue technology to document everything from violence towards women, to how to insert a diaphragm, amplifying many voices that had been missing.

Iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow. Peaches (Toronto’s own Merrill Nisker) embraces the Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour as an opportunity to reflect on her past—from her musical beginnings creating songs for kids in daycare to her favourite stage costumes. Through biting wit and brash talent, Peaches advocates for body autonomy and LGBTQIA+ rights, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture. From vulva hats to hair suits, Peaches may be 57, but no one is going to keep her from challenging gender stereotypes, social norms, and the patriarchy until the world can finally “take it on, take it all on.”

Sarah Grant ⋅ UK ⋅ 14 min
A lifetime of being told that she, as a fat person, can’t dance—and believing it—leads Glaswegian filmmaker Sarah Grant to expose the big fat lies that exclude bigger bodies from the dance floor.  Through re-enacting iconic dance sequences from Friends, Pulp Fiction, Dirty Dancing, and Britney Spears, Grant challenges the cultural obsession with perfection and the deception that goes with it. Every body can dance, and deserves to.

Cupid fires an arrow from his bow and humans are consumed by love, passion, and desire - forces impossible to resist. So goes the old tale! The power of love in Ovid’s poem, Metamorphoses, is beautiful at times but often harmful, corrupted by the power and authority of the gods.
Woven Hearts unpicks the depictions of love in Ovid’s ancient poem and reweaves them into an exploration of love, power, and transformation in our times. 
The patterns of love in the threads of their stories remain with us today. Can we free ourselves from the influence of these old stories? What elements of these stories do we want to keep? What do we want to discard? Can they be rewoven into something new? A picture of the world where we can all love bravely.

Cans & Jams - A Celebration of Ontario Craft Beer

MSO: Showtime!

One-Day Workshop for ages 16+
Music and the responses it evokes in the brain and body can all be thought of as signals that vary over time. In this hands-on workshop, we will discuss how to measure and interact with these time-varying signals. Additionally, we will create our own musical interfaces using touch sensors and mobile eye-tracking glasses connected to programmable circuit boards!
Students will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of music cognition, digital signal processing, and computer programming from experts in the LIVELab. They will exercise creative autonomy in developing new musical interfaces and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively to form multi-instrument ensembles.
Pizza lunch provided
Space is limited to 20 seats. Register early.
Seats are limited. If you are unable to attend, please email livelab@mcmaster.ca so we can release your seat for those on the waiting list. Thank you!

LIVELab Presents Coszmos Quartette
Get ready for a memorable evening as CQ (Coszmos Quartette) unveils their latest album, Eternal Dawn, at the renowned McMaster LIVELab! Known for their captivating live performances, CQ will take listeners on a journey exploring themes of love, nature, and human connection. These songs are an act of love. They are a gift for those tired of irony and cynicism. Fronted by local luminary Bradley Germain (vocals/guitar), and featuring McMaster alumni Kate Quigley (piano/flute/vocals), Joel Banks (double bass), and Sara Froese (violin/vocals) along with Gareth Inkster (violin) and Noel Webb (drums) their harmonies and delicate arrangements take on vulnerability like it is a torch leading the way. Don’t miss your chance to witness this extraordinary performance in an intimate setting!Yet embracing the now is also to embrace its loss, to embrace just how fleeting our moments are. These songs pull us in, and then they end. Sweet voices swell and fade. Strings are plucked and they resolve. As our singer sings, blink and you’ll be gone, and then it's over. This is a gift. Without that gift time would lose its value. If life wasn’t finite, time would simply wash over us, endlessly, because nothing would be at stake, nothing would matter, nothing would be urgent. There would be no need to share these songs. There would be no need to be present and listen. I heard a wise woman say, if you want to see the Creator’s face, go into the natural world. This knowledge abounds in these songs. We are told to take our cues from clouds, from the movement of the sun, from the flight of birds. We are invited to pause and celebrate purple flowers on golden mornings. But be assured, this isn’t weakness or escape. It is strength. There is no fear in these songs. Their simplicity and directness declares their confidence, their knowing. They don’t need to overwhelm or impress with flash and virtuosity. Their harmonies and delicate arrangements take on vulnerability like it is a torch leading the way. To what? To love of course. If the now is all we have, what gives real meaning, real value, is love: Take some time to look around because there is so much to love. But this is only a seemingly naïve sentiment because, as the singer assures us, love is only easy, if you try. Love is a discipline, a practice. Love is never passive. And be assured, these songs are love in action. Modified excerpt from Andrew Johnson, January, 2022.
