Mar 26, 2026 - 50 Years After the Military Coup D’etat

When: March 26th, 6pm
Where: OISE, Room 12-130

Argentinians commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1976 military coup, a turning point in the country's history, under conditions that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. In the 1970s, the military responded to the emergence of progressive movements contesting the roots of inequality in the country with torture, forced disappearance, and extrajudicial killings targeting thousands of trade unionists, political activists, students, and community organizers. Terror also silenced or forced thousands more into exile. Democracy returned in 1983, but the legacies of the dictatorship have remained tangible limits to what has been politically and economically viable for the country.

After her father dies suddenly on the mill floor, Norma is thrown deeper into the struggle, risking her job, relationships, and community standing to confront the bosses and organise her often-reluctant coworkers.

Mar 5, 2026 - Art exhibit: Cum Grano Salis

When: March 4 - 28 (Opening reception, Saturday, March 7th, 2pm)
Where: Red Head Gallery, 401 Richmond St, W

Elaine Whittaker with participating artists Mathew Borrett, Teri Donovan, Tracy Gorman, Kelley Aitken, Kaz Ogino, Heidi Breier, Kat Honey, Kai Kan, Kim-Lee Kho, and Jim Nason.

Cum grano salis (Latin for 'with a grain of salt') is an expression of skepticism. In an era saturated with images, data, and competing truths, the potential for exaggeration and distortion is greater than ever. Doubt is integral to how we perceive and interpret the world today. We move continuously between trust and mistrust, truth and fabrication, constantly pausing to reassess what we have just seen, heard, or absorbed.
