We opened the class with a student question followed by:
- A reminder that resistance, protest, and activism have been treated as threats to the state in Canada not just abroad.
- We talked a bit about the Ipperwash Crisis (one of those mentioned in the article above) This took place in territory related to the play we've been working with.
- I mentioned again the current case against the RCMP that Amber Bracken and the Narwhal have in B.C. court - Central to the case is what it means to have freedom of the press in Canada.
- We watched a quick reel asking the audience to re-think/re-frame/think critically about the differences between how resistance is viewed in popular film/fictions and how it is viewed in day-too-day life.
- We wrapped up by looking at the art below from Dylan Miner - Words for everyone who cares about fellow humans of the past, present, and future
Students had 50+ minutes to work in their projects which are DUE AT THE BEGINNING OF CLASS ON TUESDAY.
