Good morning Burnaby,

Welcome back to Speak Up!. Today's topic is SFU football. Your host Vivienne went to Spring Ball two weeks ago and got the coaches and the players in front of the microphone! But this show leaves a bitter taste, too, because tragic news reaches SFU last week: The SFU football varsity program comes to an end.

Besides these sad news, Vivienne wanted to give the football team one more chance to speak up for themselves and to honour them and that's why you could listen to the coaches and the players and them talking about the new season and the Spring Ball.

Tune in to get an insight into the SFU football team and the interviews our reporter Vivienne did with the SFU football team and to listen to some fun tunes too ( playlist above).

If you want to support the SFU football team and be updated about any changes, check out their website: https://athletics.sfu.ca/sports/football or their instagram: @sfufootball

SFU Galleries Presents: Amy Lam in Conversation with HaeAhn Kwon about Bathrooms (Saturday, October 24, 2020)

Western-style sitting toilets are designed to hide the movement of bodily waste. This need for concealment extends to outdoor space, where public urination and / or defecation are seen as shameful (even when there’s no other choice). Women-identified people are especially susceptible to reproach and must find shields or screens, like a friend holding a coat, or an open car door. In this conversation, artists Amy Lam and HaeAhn Kwon talk about toilets, the lack thereof, and the relationship between civility and necessity.

Lam created Make-Believe Bathroom and Kwon contributed graffiti to it. Kwon’s 2018 exhibition entitled Get Around to How at Erin Stump Projects featured a sculpture called Pissbox (2017).

Moderated by Jenn Jackson, curator of Make-Believe Bathroom.

HaeAhn Kwon is an installation artist. She was born in South Korea and lives on the land of Tkaronto. Her practice recombines and transforms everyday objects, highlighting a tension between a culture of excess and the resourcefulness born of crises. She often collaborates with Paul Kajander as Haeahn Paul Kwon Kajander. Threading given and family names together, their practice challenges identificatory constructs such as gender, ethnicity and patriarchal lineage. She is represented by Franz Kaka (Toronto) and her works have shown internationally.

Amy Lam is an artist and writer. She was born in Hong Kong and lives in Toronto. Lam collaborated with Jon McCurley as the artist duo Life of a Craphead, in conceptual art, performance, media art, and curating. Their work will be presented at the Seoul MediaCity Biennale in 2021. Lam is a founding member of Friends of Chinatown Toronto, a grassroots group working against displacement in Toronto’s downtown Chinatown, and she is also currently working on poetry.
