Anniversary Warm-up! Wavelength needs your Hearts and Hands
By wavelength ~ Posted Tuesday, February 6th 2007Dear Wavelength Lovers,
We need your help tomorrow night (that being Wednesday)! Yes, we need your help adorning the ceiling and walls of Salem's Loft with hearts cut out of our sleeves, we mean, construction paper. For everyone who's ever said, "I should really help out Wavelength sometime," here's your chance! It will make our anniversarty party extra-special.
If you are free Wednesday night after 8pm, please email Ryan or Jonny via ryan or jonny AT wavelengthtoronto.com and we'll fill you in on the details.
Also, a reminder to show up early (doors open at 6:30) at the Music Gallery on Thursday for the second annual Wavelength Panel Discussion. This year's topic is Diversity: Our Strength?, and with a great mix of panelists (and one hilarious moderator), it should make for a lively and energizing discussion, with plenty of opportunities for audience participation.
Here's the Official Description:
Diversity: Our Strength?
At the panel discussion for the launch of Coach House Books' The State of the Arts: Living with Culture in Toronto (uTOpia vol. 2), moderator Misha Glouberman made a provocative suggestion regarding Toronto's cultural identity. He suggested that the two things that people are most excited about when they talk about Toronto – our multiculturalism and our vibrant arts scene – rarely cross over, at least in public perception. Indeed, the independent arts community of which Wavelength is a part, is primarily composed of white downtowners. There are other arts and cultural scenes in the city we're barely aware of. Why are we "indie kids" unwilling or unable to engage in a dialogue with the rest of the city?
Rather than debate this question or point fingers, at this panel we seek proactive solutions, and posit that an intercultural exchange between communities may not only strengthen Toronto's social fabric,
but may also result in some exciting and uniquely Torontonian art. How can we work to make this happen?
The Panelists:
David Dacks (CIUT, Exclaim)
Jonny Dovercourt (Wavelength, Music Gallery)
Rosina Kazi (LAL)
More Or Les (hip-hop MC)
Sara Saljoughi (Fig Records)
with moderator Misha Glouberman (Trampoline Hall)
TWO DAYS TO WL 350, WOOOOOOO.....
