Join Toronto street and graffiti artists Sean Martindale and Pascal Paquette for a film screening of Exit Through the Gift Shop. Exit Through the Gift Shop is "the story of how an eccentric French shop keeper and amateur film maker attempted to locate and befriend Banksy, only to have the artist turn the camera back on its owner. The film contains footage of Banksy, Shephard Fairey, Invader and many of the world's most infamous graffiti artists at work." - Sundance Film Festival.
Afterwards, Sean and Pascal will lead a conversation about film and its connection to their own practice and the NOW exhibition, part of the Toronto Now Series of contemporary art projects.

SINS INVALID is a performance project that incubates and celebrates artists with disabilities, centralizing artists of color and queer and gender-variant artists as communities who have been historically marginalized. Our performance work explores the themes of sexuality, embodiment and the disabled body. Conceived and led by disabled people of color, we develop and present cutting-edge work where normative paradigms of "normal" and "sexy" are challenged, offering instead a vision of beauty and sexuality inclusive of all individuals and communities.
