Artist Talk and Panel Discussion Using the title I think therefore I am for an artist talk about political issues seems fitting for an exhibition titled Moral Panic, Whisper Campaigns & Wicked Problems. The phrase, coined by philosopher René Descartes, delves into the nature of existence and consciousness. When applied to a discussion about political issues, it highlights the importance of individual perspectives, critical thinking, and the role of personal agency in shaping political discourse and action. Art has long been a platform for exploring and challenging political ideas. Art invites the audience to consider the political themes depicted in the artwork and the broader implications for society and individual identity. Join us at the Lake Country Art Gallery on Saturday, May 11th, from 1 to 3pm This session presents a special opportunity to delve deeper into the themes of Moral Panic, Whisper Campaigns, and Wicked Problems, guided by our special guest, Dr. Norah Bowman. Dr. Norah Bowman is a college professor of Gender, Sexualities and Women's Studies at Okanagan College. She is an academic writer researching transnational feminist organizing in Central Europe and a poet. Her next book My Eyes are Fuses, will be published by Caitlin Press in fall 2024. Join us on April 27th at the Lake Country Art Gallery where the fabulous Freida Whales will be presenting an enchanting Drag Storytime event!
Originating from the vibrant streets of San Francisco, Drag Story Hour has blossomed into a beloved tradition across North America and beyond.

Despite controversy and moral panic from some quarters, families have embraced the inclusivity and positive message of acceptance fostered by these events. Led by pioneers like Michelle Tea, whose vision for inclusive reading events has shaped the narrative, Drag Storytime promises an unforgettable celebration of literature, diversity, and love. Don't miss this opportunity to join us for a day filled with laughter, learning, and acceptance. Let's come together to celebrate the power of storytelling in all its flamboyant wonder!
