This one-day symposium builds on the key elements of the exhibition Street Actions: Women Performing on the Street of Montreal and Toronto, 1970-1980. This includes moving geographically between Toronto and Montréal, as well as linguistically across French and English; focusing on the importance of dance, movement, and the kinesthetic in shaping experimental practices of the 1970s; looking at questions of changing feminisms as they evolved in public and cultural spaces; and attesting to historical and current practices by artists infiltrating outdoor and institutional sites with their bodies.
By bringing together different generations of artists, curators, and cultural worker, this day of conversation and exchanges aims to acknowledge and record the past while making room for new and intersectional conversations.
