Oxy Arts on York (4757 York Boulevard)

From the renowned Palestinian scholar, a memoir of political and queer awakening, of impossible love amidst generations of displacement, and what it means to return home.

Both a love story and a coming-of-age tale that spans countries and continents, Fire in Every Direction balances humor and loss, nostalgia and hope, as it takes us from the Middle East to London, and from 1948 to the present. Tareq Baconi crafts a deeply intimate, unforgettable portrait of how a political consciousness—desire and resistance—is passed down through generations.

In this fall's Making Space series – free, all-ages community art workshops – participants will create projects inspired by the current exhibition Flesh of the Forest.

Stay tuned for the themes of all three workshops:
Saturday, September 20 | 1-4pm
Saturday, October 11 | 1-4pm
Saturday, November 15 | 1-4pm

This iteration of Making Space is facilitated by Blue Reinhard.

NOTE: All artists under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult.
