Musagetes Guelph Café
All Café events are free and open to the public, and you only need to reserve a spot for these ones. For all other events, please just meet us at the door!
The Musagetes Guelph Café will take place from Wednesday, September 25, 2013 to Saturday, September 28,2013. Musagetes’ artistic programs are informed by the research and discussions during our Cafés. We’ve held previous Cafés in London, Barcelona, Rijeka, and Sudbury, where we brought together local narratives and external viewpoints on each city by inviting local and international thinkers and cultural producers to share their approaches. For this Café, we’ll be adding an extended artistic program, presenting five newly commissioned projects by Paul Chartrand (Dunnville, ON), Jenn E Norton (Guelph), Janet Morton (Guelph), and Postcommodity (Albuquerque, US). In the social fabric of the city, we will produce, present and reflect on the arts in Guelph through performance, workshops, live music, discussions, hands-on publishing, outdoor interventions, debates, and a co-created audio zine. How do we approach the arts differently here? Where is culture headed and who is taking it there? The Café will focus on bridge-building across communities and co-creating alternative social spaces.
All locations are accessible, and all events are free!
