blood[claat] - written and performed by d'bi.young.anitafrika, directed by weyni mengesha
MAI (Montreal, arts interculturels) 3680 Jeanne-Mance

blood[claat] is a Dora Award winning coming of age story of 15-year-old Mudgu Sankofa, set in modern day Kingston, Jamaica. Described by eye weekly as "a meditation on the many contexts and connotations of blood—menstruation, murder, sacrifice, ancestry, salvation, childbirth," blood[claat] is the story of "womban" and blood as experienced through the eyes of a young girl. As Mudgu comes to terms with gender, class, race and sexuality through her evolving relationship with her own blood, the inevitable nature of cycles comes to symbolize resistance to colonial oppression, ceremonial dance, liberashun chant and dub poetry.

Art is Oxygen and A Brave New World : painting and photography exhibit by Nicole Béland at Luz Gallery
Luz gallery, Belgo building, 372W, Sainte-Catherine street, Montreal, space 418 open from Wednesday to Saturday from 12h00 to 17h00.

Art is Oxygen : What a catchy title! But as all catchy titles go : it's a lie. Art is not Oxygen but it is important to me. Some artists have this big persona they hide behind. I'm trying to be the genuine article here. Hope you can witness it with me as I showcase some of my best work that will soon be published in my first art book about personal mythology, symbolism and ego construction. All that Freudian stuff is what great works of art are made of.Of course, if you can make people laugh, that works too.

Parkdale Gallery Exhibition: Referencing the Future
229 Armstrong Street, Ottawa, Ontario.K1Y 2W5

Featured Artist: Iaian Greenson

Iaian's large canvases depict our interactions with trivial pop culture miscellany, television heroes, and everyday objects. Iaian avoids the kind of polite and passive intellectualism that bogs down some Canadian art. His work goes for the heart, the ass, and the eye. Like a musician, Iaian uses color as reverb, and his palette is Matisse's. His surface imagery is carefully randomized like Basquiat.
