SUMMARY:In Conversation with Susan Mogul
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an engaging conversation with pioneering video artist Susan Mogul\, who will discuss her 1997 video I Stare at You and Dream\, featured in AGG’s exhibition Do You Remember Love\, as well as her wider practice. Known for intertwining autobiography with documentary strategies\, Mogul’s work often explores themes of family\, relationships\, and identity through a deeply personal lens. \nFilmed in Mogul’s Highland Park neighborhood in Los Angeles\, a predominantly working-class Latino area\, I Stare at You and Dream follows the intersecting lives of four individuals: Mogul herself; her friend\, Rosie Sanchez; Rosie’s teenage daughter\, Alejandra (Alex) Sanchez; and Ray Aguilar\, Mogul’s on-and-off boyfriend. The narrative is intimate\, intertwining familial and romantic relationships to explore how personal history shapes the present\, inviting us to consider questions of women’s identity\, family dynamics\, and the search for a sense of home. \nSusan Mogul has been involved with video since the early 1970s\, creating a foundational body of humorous and staunchly feminist performance videos before expanding into experimental narratives\, including feature-length work. Her numerous accolades include a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship\, and an ITVS commission. Her work has been showcased internationally\, with a survey of her videos held at the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna in 2024\, and her first solo museum exhibition at the Zacheta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw in 2022. Other notable exhibitions include California Video at the Getty Museum\, Los Angeles: Birth of an Art Capital at the Centre Pompidou in Paris\, and Where Art Might Happen: The Early Years of CalArts at the Kunsthaus Graz. \nMogul’s work has also been discussed in X-TRA (2020)\, where “A Feminist’s Survival Index” reviews her current work within the context of feminist art history. Her career and contributions are further explored in Women of Vision: Histories in Feminist Film and Video\, where a chapter is devoted to her impactful legacy. \nThis program is co-presented with Ed Video Media Arts Centre with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and Ontario Arts Council\, an agency of the Government of Ontario.

SUMMARY:Starting Plants from Seed (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-part course that will introduce you to the wonders of growing all kinds of different plants from seed and will draw on Robert Pavlis’ experience growing over 2\,000 species of plants from seed. \nPart 1: Fundamentals of Seed Germination\nThis first part will look at the basics of seed biology to really understand the development of a plant from seed. This knowledge will then be expanded to discuss important topics such as collecting your own seed and storing seed for future growth. We’ll have an in-depth look at seed dormancy and different ways of overcoming it. \nWe’ll then look at some specific examples like germinating petunias\, peonies\, jack-in-the-pulpits\, and maple trees. These will provide insight into different types of seed germination processes. \nPart 2: Practical Aspects of Seed Germination\nDescription: Now that you understand the fundamental basics it is time to look at the practical aspects of growing from seed. We’ll look at different techniques such as growing in pots\, the baggy method and winter sowing. We’ll examine ways of dealing with very small and very large seed\, and I’ll show you techniques for scarification and stratification\, as well as some tricks for overcoming seed dormancy. \nWe’ll also look at essentials such as lighting\, temperature\, watering and hardening off seedlings. \nAt the end of this two-part course you will be able to germinate thousands of different seeds including both outdoor and indoor plants. \nFee: $20 (plus HST) per person.

SUMMARY:Composting for Gardeners - Composting Piles\, Bins and Drums (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:The previous workshop provided information about the composting process. This workshop is more hands on and looks at various methods for completing both hot and cold composting. Hot composting is the traditional method using one or more bins. This is a great system that makes faster compost\, but it is impractical for smaller gardens. Various plastic bins and drums are more suitable there. We’ll have a look at various commercial and DIY systems. \nAt the end of this course you will be able to select the right composting system that meets your requirements and you will know how to start the process\, care for it\, and what to do with the finished compost. \nIf you are going to take this course it is a good idea to also take Introduction to Composting for Gardeners. \nFee: $10 (plus HST) per person.
