Daughters of Joy! Cinema Soiree- June 14th, Montreal QC



I'm so excited and honoured to present my experimental film evening as a special event at The St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival! ONE-NIGHT-ONLY!

DAUGHTERS OF JOY! CINEMA SOIREE
An evening of experimental video, film and audio about sex.

Curated by: Amber Goodwyn
Co-presented by: The St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival and Lickety Split smut zine with the support of Double Negative Collective
Work by: Jackie Gallant & Dayna Macleod, Elin Gustafson, Nicole Koschmann, La Mathilde, Terryll Loffler, Shana Macdonald, Peter Miller, Kathleen K-R, Anita Schoepp and Scott Stark
Magazines by: Lickety Split smut zine
When: June 14th at The Green Room (5390 St-Laurent), 7pm, Montreal, Quebec
Run time: 60 minutes
Pay-what-you-can!

Lascivious, libidinous and salacious artists cum together for an evening of sexy, experimental cinema! ‘You can watch’ as different, brave artists expose radical suggestions regarding the nature of difference and desire and the conjoining of sexuality/gender/eroticism. Cream yourself over forthright, frank depictions of the bodies’ invisible truths!

These artists ask: when you’re feeling hot, do you reach for your lover, your vibrator or your camera? Who we are or aren’t fucking isn’t as interesting how we’re doing it: with cameras, microphones and media helping us along to our bliss. Young girls experiment by video-recording newly acquired gestures and curves, straight men stare into the sun analyzing the rippling terrain of the vulva, solo-adventurers fuck themselves to dazzling heights with the camera on, while others deconstruct popular media’s groping motions with glee. The western world is a dizzy spin, saturated with sexy advertisements, Internet porn and sticky loads of technology infringing on our schedules, workplaces and private life, and when it comes to sex, you’re either with them or against them…or at the very least humping their leg.

Voices of Resistance: Muslim Women on War Faith, & Sexuality

Saturday April 21st, 7pm
York Amphitheatre (EV 1.615)
Concordia University
1515 St. Catherine St. West.

Wheelchair Accessible –
Free ASL interpretation & Childcare available with
48hr advance request


With readings and discussion by contributors, Shadi
Eskandani
and Nuzhat Abbas, followed by a book
signing.

Edited by Sarah Husain, Voices of Resistance is a
groundbreaking collection that explodes current
contentions about Muslim identity, gender, war, and
citizenship. Muslims—literally, "people of the
book"—must seek knowledge wherever and however they
can. As the prophet Mohammed sat in a cave of Mount
Hira, the first command he received from the angel
Gabriel was "Iqra!—Read!" The Quran instructs that
obtaining knowledge is integral to one's spiritual
practices.

Hailing from Yemen, Iran, Palestine, Afghanistan,
Kashmir, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia,
Thailand, China, Canada, and the United States, the
contributors to Voices of Resistance also insist on a
politics and spirituality that command knowledge—but
not dusty facts fixed long ago. They demand knowledge
that is fluid, contextually engaged, and dynamic. And
in their pursuit, they are sharing wisdom of their
own. They engage in conversation concerning their
bodies and their communities and share compelling
stories: a woman mourns the death of a cousin killed
in a suicide bombing; a transsexual man remembers with
fondness the donning of the veil he no longer wears; a
woman confronts sexism and hypocrisy on a pilgrimage
to Saudi Arabia; several experience being judged on
the basis of skin color and political and religious
affiliation that is far more blatant and ubiquitous
since the September 11 attacks.

Praise for Voices of Resistance:

"A beautifully crafted testament to the courage,
reflexivity, and spirit of Muslim women's resistance
to the injustices and violence of wars from Palestine
to the U.S."
Chandra Talpade Mohanty, professor of Women's
Studies, Syracuse University, and author of Feminism
without Borders


"I loved Voices of Resistance. It was fun, it was
funny, it was profound, it was deep, it was
frightening, it was awesome, it was an opening. I
could not put it down."
Dr. Amina Wadud, professor of Islamic Studies and
author of Inside the Gender Jihad

About the Readers:

:::Mangos with Chili: Sweat, Sweets and Nightmares:::
A Queer and Trans People of Colour Cabaret


THURSDAY, APRIL 5th, doors @ 8pm
Le Studio, 2109 St. Laurent Blvd
(wheelchair accessible venue)
$5 at the door, no one turned away. ALL AGES

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
ASL interpretation is available upon request with 48 hours notice.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Mangos with Chili: the floating cabaret of QTPOC bliss, dreams, sweat,
sweets and nightmares, is coming to Montreal. On Thursday, April 5th the
multi-cultural, multi-gendered and multi-genre traveling cabaret of queer and
trans of colour (QTPOC) performance artists will be making a stop here
during their Northeast tour, where they will be joined by local QTPOC
performers and DJs. Be sure to also check out the QPOC Fleshtival on Friday April 6th
(more details below).

Using theater, spoken word, drag, dance and performance art to tell
stories of class, survival, sex, dreams, magic, colour, and trans,
femme and genderqueer identities that span Sri Lanka to Aztlan to
Morocco to the Philippines to the Caribbean to Brooklyn to migrant
small town Washington state, Mangos With Chili is a groundbreaking
performance cabaret, taking This Bridge Called My Back into the 21st
century. Inspired by similar traveling roadshows such as the Tranny
Roadshow and the Sex Workers Art Show, in 2006 sister femme vixen
writers and performance artists Maria Cristina Rangel and Leah Lakshmi
Piepzna-Samarasinha decided to start a similar tour featuring the most
brilliant queer and trans artists of colour they knew. Using their
experience creating events in Toronto, Boston, New York and the West
Coast, the first Mangos With Chili tour hit the Northeast in April
2006.

This year's Mangos with Chili will be another two weeks of
history-making performance, in celebration of their lives, stories,
survival, and the legacies they are creating for future generations of
queer and trans people of colour. The spring lineup consists of Thomas
Andre Bardwell, Kay Barrett, Ching-In Chen, Dulani, Leah Lakshmi
Piepzna-Samarasinha, Maria Cristina Rangel (aka Miss Cherry Galette),
Suhayl Ramirez, Ignacio Rivera, and Victor Tobar. The show contains
both collaborative and individual work, bringing a wide spectrum of
breathtaking queer and trans artists of color to universities,
community colleges and community art spaces.

Mangos with Chili is being co-presented by Queer McGill, the 2110
Centre for Gender Advocacy, Q-team, the South-West MTL Community Skill
Share, CKUT Radio 90.3 and the Union for Gender Empowerment.

The Gays of our Lives
March 16th to March 25th 2007

A series of events starring Ms Vaginal Davis and professor José
Esteban Muñoz, and featuring queer videos, performances, lectures and
much more.

Check this out:

March 21th to March 25th
Gays of Our Lives Installation

La Centrale Powerhouse Gallery (4296 Blv. St. Laurent)
www.lacentrale.org

About Participants:

Vaginal Davis is an originator of the homo-core punk movement and a
gender-queer art icon. Set apart from gallery-centered art, and
Hollywood movies, and from those systems' necessities of high-polish,
low-substance production, Ms. Davis's performance,
experimental film and video practice has critiqued exclusionary
conceits from the outside. Davis has been a prolific producer of club
performance, video and Xerox-produced Zines, and other forms of
low-cost, high-impact work. Ms Davis derails collector-friendly
raciness in spectacles of femininity, queerness and blackness. She
critiques both the gallery system and the larger cultural trend that
it mirrors, with tongue-in-cheek self-exploitation and provocations of
racial and gender confusion.

José Esteban Muñoz is an American theorist in the fields of
Performance Studies, visual culture, queer theory, cultural studies,
and critical theory. His book Disidentifications: Queers of Color and
the Performance of Politics (1999) is a foundational text in queer of
color critique, and a major contribution to minority scholarship in
the field of Performance Studies. He has also co-edited Pop Out: Queer
Warhol (1996) with Jennifer Doyle and Jonathan Flatley and Everynight
Life: Culture and Dance in Latin/o America (1997) with
Celeste Fraser Delgado. Muñoz is currently the chair of the Department
of Performance Studies at New York University's Tisch School of the
Arts. He is currently completing two manuscripts, the first Feeling
Brown: Ethnicity, Affect, and Performance is forthcoming from Duke
University Press, and the second Cruising Utopia: the Performance and
Politics of Queer Futurity will be published by NYU Press.

This is a co-presentation of QPIRG McGill, Queer McGill and the Q-team
in collaboration with QPIRG Concordia, McGill Office of the Dean of
Arts, the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, articule Special Projects, La
Centrale Powerhouse Gallery, The Union
for Gender Empowerment, The Center 2110 and The Concordia Sexual

KIDS ON TV kicked off of MySpace...BOO!

On March 1, 2007 Kids on TV had their myspace account deleted with no warning or specific explanation by myspace. We suspect that, although we kept our site visually "PG-13" and played by the rules, the discussion of sexuality in our lyrics and the open embrace or radical culture was too much for myspace. We definitely ran into their limits whatever they were. They never responded to our questions either which is the experience everyone has apparently.

Myspace specifies that there be no nudity or "sexually suggestive photos". Altho nudity is pretty specific, the phrase "sexually suggestive photos" is vague enough to mean anything to anyone on the myspace staff. We demand that this phrase be removed or replaced.

We have set up a myspace profile where we encourage people to post their stories of myspace censorship as comments - especially stories where the artist suspects a political bias to the censorship. We recognize that all censorship is political. However we have a theory that recently (and in the past) myspace has been deleting accounts simply because they represent radical views, and express those views in images, video and music. This censorship will undoubtly continue and may result in the deletion of the page we created for censorship discussion. In the mean time we need to document and discuss these cases when they result from the homophobia, sexism, racism etc of myspace staff and policies. We have not found a corresponding page on myspace and the forums on censorship that we found seem pretty inactive. Others may exist that we haven't found.

Once we created the page we were surprised that everyone who responded to it with a story of censorship was a gay artist. Admittedly we are (or rather were) in touch with many gay artists via our myspace account. But this doesn't explain the repeating pattern.

Someone mailed us asking why is censorship a problem if we are all constantly spammed by commercial porn profiles - and when they appear in banner ads. The emerging cases documented on the censorship page seem to be mostly gay/sex-lib arts groups - not commercial ones. The groups that are targeted for censorship seem to be mostly non-profit, activist groups. We believe that the reason that there are so many commercial porn profiles whose accounts are not deleted is because they are paid advertisers of myspace. It seems that the way the myspace software is set up, myspace can filter and direct adult content based on the age of the profile owner receiving the content, but only for advertisements - not profiles. myspace has no designation of adult content. thus the same week Kids on TV's account was deleted we had banner ads every day advertising porn / adult dating services with "sexually suggestive photos" every time we logged into our account. which is fine by us. we just want the same courtesy

Launch tonight! + Pop cast

This fourth issue of Lickety Split smut zine is bursting the sides of its corset. 84 pages of hot, smart smut make this the biggest issue yet. Lickety Split is launching the fabulous fourth issue with a pimped-out party featuring music by Lil’ Pip, backed up by the Dead Doll Dancers, Flames! and Trancelvania with pornographic projections by the Double Negative Collective. Dance party apres with DJ Backdoor.

When: Friday, February 23rd, 9pm
Where: Club Lambi, 4465 St- Laurent, just below Mont-Royal
How much: $7 gets you a copy of the zine and an eyeful of the show

about Issue #4: This issue of Lickety Split features interviews with living legend Annie Sprinkle, photos of the lovely Seska, Rick Trembles interview, our first man-on-man action, lots of action in general, unearthed coming-of-age diary entries and much, much more! Also, follow the simple directions in the zine and download the accompanying podcast (care of Andrew Rose) to enhance your Lickety experience.

Podast is here

More about the podcast by Andrew Rose:
Naked in a bubble over the city with Trancelvania, Lil Pip, party plans, Flames!, Begging the Question with Love in Ruins, Annie Sprinkle, a new love song by Miracle Fortress, and tons of orgasms.

Though I'm sure Ghostface has technically rendered podcasts I have done in the past explicit, this is the first that should probably carry the explicit tag explicitly. That said, it's about time the PopCast/the Mass... presented something properly profane and holy. Pansexual sex-positive Montreal smut zine Lickety Split sets the agenda here (for the first proper collaborative crossover episode of any kind), as editor Amber Goodwyn and I discuss sex, music, the launch party for number 4 of Lickety Split (tonight, Friday the 23rd at Club Lambi!), and play some music from said accompanying party. It also features numerous contributors via Amber, her radio show, and Lickety Split, and is a pretty funny, sexy, and honest document. Ultimately, for all of-age constitutions, should you wish to join us. And why not?
