BOOK LAUNCH: A personal journey, with Carolina Echeverria, 25 September 2025

Author: Christina - Published 2025-09-03 15:29 - (2012 Reads)
NATIVE-IMMIGRANT: A personal journey into our home and native land tells the story of discovering that, as an immigrant, I have much more in common with First Nations.

Introducing Artist, Ingrid Style

Author: Christina - Published 2025-03-16 10:44 - (6331 Reads)

Artist, INGRID STYLE


Ingrid Style was born in England and spent her formative years in Brazil before pursuing her art studies at the Ontario College of Art.

Her focus has been the human figure, and her work reflects the magical and whimsical graphic expressions of great English artists such as Aubrey Beardsley, Charles Ricketts and Arthur Rackham. Some of Style's larger works are coloured with a tropical brilliance that recalls Byzantine mosaics and the paintings of Gustave Klimt.

In her drawings, expressive faces and figures emerge from entwined volutes and entanglements suggesting the struggle of birth as well as the search for release from anguish.


LAMB ASTRAY, A memoir by Suzanne Jane Hughes

Author: Christina - Published 2025-03-04 22:11 - (3061 Reads)
Between 1870 and the late 1930s more than 100,000 children from orphanages and ‘homes’ in the British Isles were sent to ‘distribution homes’ in Canada where they were indentured as farm hands and servants to families in need of cheap labour. These little immigrants became known as ‘home children’.

Among them was Joseph Henry Hughes.

A wonderful memoir by Suzanne Jane Hughes. Well written, clear, and logically presented along with its fine backdrop of historic events. Replete with authentic letters, vintage photographs and details, carefully researched. It provides a window on this little-known period in Canadian history, as well as preserving the remarkable story of one family from its origins to the present day.

BAGLADY: A retrospective romp through the hazardous sixties, austere seventies, bleak eighties, and leaner meaner nineties. Ashley confronts her ‘Snakes & Ladders’ existence with dark humour and ironic detachment. It's a down-at-heel memoir imbued with the desolate ghost-beauty of the city, both ruin — and renaissance-in-waiting.

FESTIVAL DU MONDE ARABE DE MONTREAL, 25 octobre - 23 novembre 2024

Author: Christina - Published 2024-10-16 21:09 - (1580 Reads)
25 ans, déjà. Cet anniversaire n’est pas comme les autres. Le FMA s’est toujours présenté comme un bâtisseur de ponts entre les cultures, offrant un regard espiègle et lucide sur le monde, avec audace et enthousiasme.

Mais cette année, au lieu de célébrer simplement notre passé, nous ne pouvons ignorer l'éléphant dans la pièce : Gaza d'abord et maintenant le Liban. Face à ce tumulte, Handhala, l'enfant défiant, nous tourne le dos. Avec sa baguette de magicien et l'autorité d'un chef d'orchestre, il symbolise l'innocence qui persiste à créer, même lorsque les murs de la raison s'effondrent.

Sous le thème Méprises : 25 ans de rêves en couleurs, artistes, cinéastes et penseurs se rassemblent pour offrir une ode poignante à un peuple crucifié par les jeux des puissants.
