On-Site Event

Join READ Books for a reading by writer and performer Jacob Wren and to celebrate the launch of his new book.

Authenticity is a Feeling: My Life in PME-ART is a compelling hybrid of history, memoir, and performance theory. It tells the story of the interdisciplinary performance group PME-ART and their ongoing endeavour to make a new kind of highly collaborative theatre dedicated to the fragile but essential act of “being yourself in a performance situation.”

Reliance Theatre

Faculty, staff and students are all welcome at this discussion about cheating, plagiarism and our new Academic Integrity policy. What is plagiarism anyway? Why do people cheat? What can (or should) we do about it? And what does it all mean for the work we do?

Discussion facilitated by Heather Fitzgerald from the Writing Centre.

The Libby Leshgold Gallery is pleased to present QULLIQ: In Darkness, Light, a solo exhibition of new work by Maureen Gruben.

The qulliq is a traditional oil lamp that was once the heart of the home. It was used to heat, to cook and to bring continuous light during the darkness of the Arctic winter. The new work included in this exhibition explores notions of light and transparency related to the light of the oil lamp as well as the translucence of ice.

Film Screening: Nuclear Savage and Sandwars

Friday, January 12th at 5:30pm FVIM Screening Room | D1375

Please join us for a screening of two films, Nuclear Savage and Sandwars, in conjunction with our exhibition The Pacific.

Nuclear Savage (2012) | 87 minutes Written and directed by Adam Jonas Horowitz. He shot his first film in the Marshall Islands in 1986, and was shocked by what he found there, in this former American military colony in middle of the Pacific Ocean. Radioactive coconuts, leaking nuclear waste repositories, and densely populated slums were all the direct result of 67 Cold War U.S. nuclear bomb tests that vaporized islands and devastated entire populations.

Have an idea worth spreading? TEDxECUAD is accepting applications for faculty and student speakers!

TEDxECUAD is a 1 day event happening in March 2018 co-branded with Emily Carr University of Art + Design, with an audience of about 200 in the Reliance Theatre, and additional simulcast audiences. Our goal is to bring together bright minds to give talks that are idea-focused, and on a wide range of subjects, to foster learning, inspiration and wonder - and provoke conversations that matter. 

Your talk would be filmed and an edit will be hosted on the TEDx YouTube channel, and possibly selected to appear on the official TED website, TED.com. 

Please apply by November 5.

Once a month, explore the ancient art of letter writing using the “ancient” tools of the trade: pen and ink (and sometimes typewriters). We’ll provide stationery and postage. Just bring your address book and a willingness to write. Open to all Emily Carr students.

Location: The Writing Centre (just inside the entrance to the Library, 2nd floor)
