HOMIE HOUSE PRESS | Even the Score: The Revolution

In recognition of International Women’s Week, we will be reading a special edition of Even the Score: The Revolution, A Sistren Collab from Homie House Press. The Sistren Collab consists of four femmes of colour who have intentionally committed to each other since 2002: Jy Amada, Jamila Silvera, Erica Ariza, and Adriana Monsalve.

Homie House Press is a skeleton bones crew of femmes creating + publishing in the foto book medium. They are photographers + book makers + educators holding space for and with underrepresented communities. They are a playground where fotos become books, a safe space for secret stories and an open house for honest content. “Find us migrating through the in-betweenness of all that we are, and al otro lado del charco.”

The SAAG’s Critical Reading Group, named after our first librarian Hazel Bletcher, gathers online for open discussion on Thursday evenings. Readings explore key themes of the exhibitions and connect with current events, with the intent to deepen our understanding of the artworks and their context within our community. 

A limited run of the Bletcher Hour Reader is published for each exhibition block, that is printed and bound in our Publication Studio, and launched at the opening. Readings are announced in advance and can be emailed by contacting Courtney Faulkner, Public Engagement & Event Coordinator | cfaulkner@saag.ca.
