"This is a queer group exhibition curated and serves as a collaboration between SOFASA and ASBC. It will gather university students across disciplines, identities, and years into a shared gallery space. This exhibition is critical, experimental, and making a safe space for queer students. Queerness here functions not only as identity but as method: a way of organizing space, disrupting hierarchy, and refusing normative categories of medium, authorship, and value.
Through an open call, students are invited to contribute to work that engages in questions of becoming, belonging, refusal, care, and collectivity. Paintings, performances, photographs, videos, and installations will coexist without disciplinary separation, encouraging unexpected encounters and solidarities. The gallery becomes a site of queer assembly, messy, relational, and alive.
This exhibition will feature minoritarian practices and shared vulnerabilities within the university, framing the exhibition as both a refuge and a site of resistance. Together, the works imagine a queer common: not unified but held together through difference."
May 13th - May 27th, 2026 8am - 4pm on weekdays only. may 27th will be the closing event, that will have music and food to celebrate Pride and the queer artists.

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance
En marche : l’amour et la résistance queers
Director: Noam Gonick | Producer: Justine Pimlott
2025 | 96 min
Documentary
English and French with English subtitles

Parade: Queer Acts of Love & Resistance captures pivotal moments that sparked Canada’s 2SLGBTQI+ movement, honouring the activists and elders whose resistance led to the rights we have today.

Through rarely seen archival footage and first-person accounts, audiences are brought to the frontlines of the struggle. From police raids to early drag shows, community organizing to the House of Commons—the complex history of the country’s diverse communities is brought to life. Key milestones illustrate the power of taking it into the streets and underscore how easily the rights we’ve fought for can be revoked, making the documentary essential viewing for all Canadians.
Unflinching, bold, enraging, hopeful; Parade is a vital new chapter in the queer canon.

The film is provided courtesy of the National Film Board of Canada.

Event is hosted by City of Winnipeg’s Equity and Diversity Subcommittee of the Human Rights Committee of Council in partnership with Rainbow Resource Centre."
