Vic Johnston Community Centre (Main Entrance), 335 Church St., Mississauga
Events are FREE and open to the public. All are welcome.
Each Reading the River session begins with a walk along Credit River followed by a discussion of a selected text from our SDUK broadsheet series. The first session begins at the Vic Johnston Community Centre, where we will walk along the riverbank through Streetsville Memorial Park, and gather for a reading and discussion with Andrea Muehlebach based on her text “Sister Water” from Issue 02: COMMUTING, and her research on resistance to the privatization of water. All SDUK issues can be found online at workofwind.ca/broadsheets.
Presented as part of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge public programming series, part of The Work of Wind: Air, Land, Sea.
Andrea Muehlebach is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto at Mississauga. An economic and political anthropologist, she explores the ethics and politics of economic life—as notably on questions such as welfare, citizenship, and morality and, more recently, on the political, economic and ethical implications of water privatization and financialization. Her book-in-progress A Vital Politics: Water Insurgencies in Europe is a study of different water movements in Europe and the question of how water—as commons or “resource”—should be governed and valued now and in the future.
The Work of Wind: Air, Land, Sea is presented by the Blackwood Gallery at the University of Toronto Mississauga in partnership with the City of Mississauga.
This is one of the 200 exceptional projects funded in part through the Canada Council for the Arts’ New Chapter program. With this $35M investment, the Council supports the creation and sharing of the arts in communities across Canada.
