Community engagement art event looks to achieve gender justice at USask
SASKATOON – The Community University Institute for Social Research (CUISR) and the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) President’s Advisory Council on the Status of Women (PACSW) are hosting an event at the Remai Modern to gather and share perspectives on ways to ensure substantive intersectional gender equity at the university.
Students, staff, faculty and alumni, as well as members of the community, will have the opportunity to share their knowledge and experience by making art on gender justice and discussing what can help make USask a more welcoming place for all. SUM Theatre will also be presenting a verbatim reading performance of a thematic script developed from previously gathered and anonymized interview and focus-group responses.
Pieces created at the event’s art maker space — facilitated by Betsy Rosenwald and Dawna Rose in conjunction with their exhibition Journal of the Plague Year(s) at the Remai Modern — may be used, with written permission of the creator, to illustrate the President’s Advisory Council on the Status of Women final report on campus climate.

Location: Remai Modern Connect Gallery, 102 Spadina Crescent E.
