Performing Identity: The Politics of Culture
Saturday, June 18, 2016

People are taught to think of culture as representing the customs and mores of a society, including its language, art, laws, and religion. Such a definition has a nice neutral sound to it, but culture is anything but neutral. Well-renowned Canadian playwrights and poets reflect on the complexity of identity and how the arts assist in its understanding.
