CHRISTINE'S BLOG

Welcome! I love to write, and I love sharing what I write with my readers. I vary my style as much as I can-posting events, creative non-fiction, prose and poetry and the occasional video. Enjoy!

August 7, 2014-7pm-10pm- Kinship Opening Reception-This exhibit is not your typical algorithm—KINSHIP pairs artists of disparate disciplines together to disrupt conventions and patterns of each other’s typical practice. From painters to poets, illustrators to sculptors, filmmakers to designers, this social exhibit encourages spontaneity, story-telling and little bit of the usual blind date awkwardness. @ Gallery 1313 Queen Street West. Toronto

Friday August 8, 2014-8pm-10pm-TPFF Annual Outdoor Screening- Laila’s Birthday-TPFF is proud to announce that on Friday August 8th, we will be screening Laila's Birthday under the stars in Christie Pits Park. Approximate start time 8:30pm but join us earlier for some fun and food courtesy of Caplansky's in the park.

From acclaimed Palestinian director Rashid Masharawi (Palestine Stereo, Land of the Story), TPFF's 2008 closing night film Laila's Birthday is a wry, dark comedy tracing a day in the life of a judge-turned-taxi driver.

August 9 and 10, 2014-12pm-8pm- The Pan American Food Festival@ Daniels Spectrum-585 Dundas Street East. A one of a kind gastronomic event is taking over the heart of Toronto, one that promises to reveal the flavours of the Americas, local artists and talent: Hosted by Santa Pecado Mexican Catering.
