SUMMARY:POSTER EXHIBITION: Art is a Weapon: Revolutionary and Antifascist Posters from Spain 1936-39
DESCRIPTION:Poster exhibition runs April 15 to June 20\, 2026.\nGongfu Bao Restaurant\, 365 Bank Street\nFree entry\nOrganized by the Education for Liberation Collective \nIn 1930s Spain\, artists\, organizers\, unions\, and leftist political parties produced thousands of stunning posters promoting revolutionary social change and opposing fascism. In 1936\, the Spanish Civil War began when fascists organized a coup to overthrow Spain’s democratically-elected leftist Popular Front government\, composed of a coalition of socialists\, anarchists\, communists\, workers’ organizations and social movements. From 1936-38\, thousands of international volunteers\, including at least 1500 Canadians\, went to Spain to join the Popular Front in the fight against fascism. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy enthusiastically supported the coup\, and the fascists ultimately won\, installing a dictatorship that would last until the late 1970s. \nArt is a Weapon: Revolutionary and Antifascist Posters from Spain 1936-39 presents reproductions of more than 25 striking posters that teach us the history of revolutionary Spain and the Spanish Civil War. But these posters are more than just artefacts of the past. They illuminate a history that extends into the present moment and to struggles we continue to fight today\, from opposing fascism\, fighting for gender liberation\, defending children’s genuine health and well-being\, and defending the dignity and well-being of working people to fighting for environmental sustainability\, for public education and art\, and supporting international solidarity. \nThe exhibition also includes reproductions of artefacts from the Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion\, the Canadian contingent of the International Brigades that fought against fascism in Spain.\nCurated by Claire Nicolson-Hurtig (@encrenoire.illustration\, Posters for Palestine 2024 exhibition\, member of Education for Liberation Collective) \nPosters are reproduced from the collections of the Fundacion Pablo Iglesias (Madrid\, Spain)\, the Robert D. Farber University Archives and Special Collections of Brandeis University (USA)\, and the Centre de Recursos per Aprenentatge i la Investigació at the University of Barcelona (Spain).

SUMMARY:Hungry for Food Justice?
DESCRIPTION:Be a part of reviving Food Not Bombs in Ottawa! \nAre you the kind of person who wants to make sure no one gets left behind? Do you want to build food security in your community? Is it clearer now more than ever that the world needs cooperation and mutual aid\, not greed and wanton destruction? If so\, come be part of the revival of the Ottawa chapter of Food Not Bombs! \nWondering what that is? Food Not Bombs is the name shared by independent collectives around the world that gather donated produce and ingredients\, cook delicious plant-based meals\, and distribute them for free in public spaces. Ottawa had one such collective\, but it ceased operation in 2021. Now you have a chance to be part of a new iteration! \nWe’d love to have you join the inaugural meeting taking place online on April 26\, 2026\, at 15:00. This meeting will discuss first steps towards building a fully operational chapter. All are welcome\, whatever your experience or capacity! If you would benefit from specific accessibility measures\, please don’t hesitate to reach out. \nTo access the link for the online meeting\, or if you have any other questions\, please send a DM to this Instagram account or an email to ottawafoodnotbombs@tutamail.com
