SCLA – Six Artists Reflect on Creative Process
Six artists make arbitrary lists as a starting point to generate visual and textual content and reflect on the creative process. The outcome is a series of disconcerting yet coherent sets of photographs and short statements.
Their work responds to artist Seth Weiner’s presentation on how to experience process and produce expressive text-and-image content by artist Seth Weiner (2022-2023 Walker Cultural Leader in the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture), and follows artist talks by Karin Di Bella, Amy Friend, and David Vivian at the Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts, Brock University.

Canada Games Internship Course (Summer 2022): FREN 4P05 – French Internship
À noter que, pour cet été, l’essentiel des stages portera sur les Jeux du Canada 2022!
Le cours FREN 4P05 vise à offrir aux étudiant-e-s des occasions d’utiliser la langue française, de manière optimale et entièrement authentique, en milieu de travail francophone.
Le cours consiste essentiellement en 50 heures de stage pratique au sein d’un organisme ou d’un département de service francophone de la région du Niagara, accompagnées d’une heure de séance hebdomadaire en classe, au cours de laquelle sont discutées des questions théoriques en rapport avec le bi/multilinguisme, le multiculturalisme, la traduction/interprétation, etc., et surtout des questions pratiques en rapport avec le stage.
Afin d’accompagner et de renforcer les connaissances pratiques acquises au cours des 50 heures de stage, les étudiant-e-s participent également à des ateliers/conférences animés par des membres proéminents de la communauté francophone du Niagara et/ou des régions avoisinantes, qui se proposent de partager avec nous leurs expériences professionnelles.
Si vous êtes intéressée-e à suivre le cours FREN 4P05 cet été (11 juillet – 19 août 2022), contactez au plus tôt Dr Jean Ntakirutimana, par courriel ([email protected]).
