Pleasure Dome and the Feminist Recycling Group co-present:
“Club Classics,” part of This is the Feminist Archive: Canadian Film & Video 1970s-1990s
When: Tuesday, November 19 at 7pm ET
Where: Innis222E, Innis College, 2 Sussex Avenue, Toronto
– Innis 222E is a screening room located on the St. George side of Innis College
The space is accessible by elevator and there is a section at the front of the room for anyone with mobility devices.
Throbbing. Pulsing. Sweating. Clubs and bars have been central spaces for queer and trans people to find and build community. But rapid gentrification and the increasing cost of living are closing what few queer nightlife spaces remain. These videos document Toronto’s lost queer nightlife. – Jonathon Petrychyn
