The Pavilion (Langara College front lawn, 100 West 49th Ave)
Occupying Minds is a reading on the theme of “the university” in conjunction with a projection of Sabine Bitter and Helmut Weber’s The University Paradox, an installation shown concurrently in Galerie Grita Insam, Vienna.
Organized by Jeff Derksen, the reading consists of a group of poets who work in and through the education industry. All language is in solidarity against "the shipwreck of the singular" (George Oppen) with all eyes on the future horizon.
Reader line-up: Clint Burnham, Stephen Collis, Jeff Derksen, Kim Duff, Reg Johanson, Larissa Lai, Donato Mancini, and Cecily Nicholson.
