Surveillant Pleasures is a research-creation project that brings
together an interdisciplinary constellation of 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC,
disabled, classed, and gendered artists, curators, and scholars in
so-called Canada to engage with theories of both pleasure and
surveillance—in particular, exploring how using surveillance
technologies and practices in relation to “pleasure activism” may create
forms of healing, care, and radical empowerment.

The project's aim is to create a community centered and alternative
approach to research and art making in the field of surveillance
studies, through play, experiential learning, and healing practices.

CAM HUNTERS is a collaborative art/media performance and
research-creation project between artists & academics Julia Chan and
STÉFY. Cam Hunters seeks to reveal and interrogate the increasing
presence of surveillance, in all its forms, in our lives. We do this
through a range of projects, such as performances, creating satirical
videos, recording a podcast, and offering critical tools. We are
available for consultations, performances, and exhibitions.

Participants who attend the workshop AND contribute to the research
project (in the form of a written reflection or an interview with the
researchers) will receive a $100.00 visa giftcard.
