Cis-what? trans-who? monosexism? THEY?? Please join CUAG for a presentation and discussion on gender, vocabulary/language, self-representation, and allyship, hosted by Cara Tierney. This talk is presented in conjunction with TRANSACTIONS , curated by Tierney, and is open to all.
Raised in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Quebec, Cara Tierney is an interdisciplinary artist whose work questions the role of gender and its relationship to the material body. Using the body as a point of departure Tierney often foregrounds issues of sexuality and gender to question how society impacts our relationship to our own bodies and ultimately our identities, both private and public. Tierney holds an MA in Art History, an MFA, and is pursuing a Ph.D at Carleton University.
Discount parking passes ($4.00 flat rate) will be available for sale at the tunnel entrance commencing at 6:45 pm. See the visiting page of CUAG’s website for directions and details of the visitor parking in the P18 parkade.
