I've been exploring Toronto's smaller art galleries lately even though I'm not well versed in contemporary art. I'm pretty much down for anything which has meant checking out a lot of shows I don't really connect with or don't understand at first.

Poster: CONSTELLATION, an anarchist festival in Montréal May 15-21 2025, Free and All-Ages Bookfair, skill faire, dance party Zines, music, workshops, food, art and more. The poster is a drawing in the style of art nouveau, with a fairie-like anarchist figure wearing a balaclava, no top and a dress which has been pulled down the chest. The figure is leaning seductively on a small round table and beckoning the viewer to silence with a finger on their lips. In the background, there is luscious vegetation in the luxurious style which art nouveau is popular for.
The poster is standing straight, his body completely wrapped in a single wide strip of Kraft paper.
