by Lisa Steele

Toronto: V tape, 2022

ISBN 978-1-7779215-1-4

This Curatorial Incubator is a co-presentation of Vtape and Niagara Artists Centre (NAC). The works in this series speak to the notion of "the local" in three distinct ways: "alternative actions and attitudes" that "queer spaces" around the city of Toronto; exploring the role of Sheridan College in encouraging non-fiction and experimental non-fiction filmmaking, leading to the formation of "The Escarpment School" of filmmakers; and the city's invisible sectors and missing memories.

Contents: Cruising Circuits, and Other Slippery Landscapes: Queer(ing) Resistance in Toronto Video Art, by Marvin Veloso; Across the Escarpment, by Connor Wilkes; What Do Mean You Don't Love Me? Or, How to Stop Worrying and Get in the Tub, by Delilah Rosier; Artists' Biographies; Curators' Biographies.
