event

LOVE MY DYSFUNCTIONS by Rebecca Sweets is an immersive installation which explores her mad, neurodivergent + disabled identity through the lens of executive dysfunction, a dominant symptom of ADHD. The exhibition is concerned with social constructs of dysfunction, within the context of “higher education” that normalizes neurotypicality by reinforcing systemic ableist, sanist, and capitalist modes of existence.

'LOVE MY DYSFUNCTIONS' by Rebecca Sweets is presented by the Margin of Eras Gallery, in collaboration with Charles Street Video.

Opening Reception | February 13th, 2019 from 7-9pm
Exhibition Dates | February 14th – February 29th
Gallery Hours | Monday to Friday from 10-6pm, Saturdays from 12-5pm
Location | Charles Street Video, located in Toronto Media Arts Centre (32 Lisgar Street, 2nd Floor).

The Margin of Eras Gallery is a project of CUE: a multidisciplinary arts space dedicated to showcasing the work of new generation artists aged 15-29 who live and work on the margins. Some of the most important artwork is being created by artists who experience social, cultural, and economic marginalization, and systemic barriers can preclude many relevant artists from contributing to our cultural narrative. The MOEG is a space to engage with these artists and their work
