“Without Blemish or Defect:” Disability and Biblical Interpretation
I insist is a long-duration performance piece that unfolds over the course of several hours. In it, the artist slowly wraps their body in red sewing thread. With minor, ritualistic, almost inconsequential movements, the piece itself is mostly understood in fragments.
Bodies carry and transmit traces of memories, sites, and stories — both as acts of care and as burdens to bear. Bodies Carrying: Traces and Stories is a two-fold conversation taking the form of a group exhibition and a program consisting of workshops, performances, and talks.
We invite you to experience Shaping Grief: Quilt and Book, an exhibition featuring the work of Abby Maxwell. Through textiles and books, Maxwell explores grief as a material and structural presence — unbound by language yet deeply embedded in memory and decay.

Hi everyone! My name is Belen Blizzard and I am Concordia's 2SLGBTQ+ Student Support Coordinator. My office will now be open for peer-support every Wednesday from 12 to 4pm. You're welcome to drop in at any time or email me to schedule an appointment at: 2SLGBTQIcoord@concordia.ca. <br><br>What you can expect: a space of non-judgment and active listening where your feelings and experiences will be honoured. I am here to support 2SLGBTQ+ students and hold space for topics ranging from identity, coming out, sexuality, experiences of homophobia and transphobia (and how they interest with race, disability, and more), and how they transpire in and out of the academic space. I am also equipped to redirect you to resources surrounding name and gender marker change, access to hormone and trans affirmative healthcare, and more. Over all, I aim to provide a space in which 2SLGBTQ+ students feel comfortable and safer in sharing their experiences and seeking support.

In a movement-based workshop, we propose an exploration of relational possibilities and their bodily expression, anchored in silence(s). Here, silence is not a rupture but a dynamic space of exchange between individuals sharing the same space-time.
In this hands-on workshop you will learn how to use Zotero, a desktop and web-based tool that you can use to organize the references you find in library catalogues and databases, insert citations in your papers, and prepare bibliographies or reference lists quickly and effectively, in a wide variety of citation styles (e.g. APA, MLA, Chicago, et cetera). We will look at how to integrate Zotero with Microsoft Word, LibreOffice, and Google Docs. We will also cover how to share folders and citations (e.g., for collaborative projects or to disseminate reading lists). No experience with Zotero is necessary.

Walking Interludes is a reflective reading about walking, place, race, identity, and memory. In this reading, I share short excerpts from my field journal that I kept during my research visits to Belfast and Lahore.
This is an event composed of two artist presentations followed by a joint Q&A.
In this talk, the keynote speaker will explore some ideas on the ontology of the social and relate it to the metaphysics of the senses in order to make the argument that cultural practices are not only based on an implicit ontology of the social but also on the belief that the social is sensorially accessible.
A pink rose breast cancer awareness fundraiser at Concordia University
The keynote speaker argues that sensing entails positioning oneself at the very edge of a phenomenon – inhabiting the liminal – in order to observe a field of rapidly morphing forces. Drawing examples from landscape archaeology to glaciology and environmentally-informed art, she will explore environmental sensing as rhythms, vibrations, bandwidths, resonances, and frequencies that create fluid and liminal sense-impressions of an unresolved natural process, and through it, opportunities for remapping and rephrasing the criss-crossing umwelts of the planetary sensorium.

In this session, we will use an open-source software that allows you to download and run large language models locally on standard computers. The software has a graphical interface to interact with the models without any coding, making this accessible to everyone in our community. We will learn to privately engage with open-source foundational models, such as Llama and Phi-3, and use them to interact with our own documents without sending any information to a cloud service. As we do the hands-on experience, we will learn core Artificial Intelligence concepts that will help you navigate the sea of information out there. This session is introductory and requires no coding skills or previous knowledge.
