In support of Yoko Ono’s interactive installation The Riverbed, the RUDE Collective, Xpace Cultural Centre and Pleasure Dome are throwing an art party this Thursday, April 26, at Gardiner Museum (111 Queens Park) that will explore the limits and effects of bourgeois activism within the arts.
Hashtag Solidarity is the second in a three-part screening and performance series inspired by Ono’s filmmaking during the anti-war climate of the 1960s and 1970s – specifically Film No. 4 (better known as Bottoms), which was famously banned by the Royal Albert Hall and the British Board of Film Censors in 1967. The evening will feature works by Kiera Boult, Sancta Maria, and Ninkuru Zinduru along with projections by Erica Whyte and blackpowerbarbie, and a DJ set by Myst Milano.
Doors open at 8 p.m. and the fun starts at 9. Tickets are $10 (students get 20% off with the coupon code “studenteyeblink”) and include entry to The Riverbed, on now until June 3.
