On
January 17,
the Institute of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies (IGSF) of
McGill University and Eastern Bloc are proud to announce our upcoming
conference, "Circuits of Consumption: The Art, Activism, and Biopolitics
of Food Control." The day will consist
of two panel sessions and multiple performances, leading participants
on a multi-sensory experience while they grapple with intersections of
food control, eating practices, and the spaces in which this consumption
occurs. We are pleased to welcome Montreal-based
activists, artists, and academics, as well as special guests from
Mexico, the United States, and Canada. Circuits of Consumption seeks to
understand the ways that aesthetics, food, and social justice can
transform our environments and the role of activists,
academics, and artists within this process. Artist chef Lisa Myers will
lead a participatory lunch keynote.
Food and refreshments will be provided.
