International Women's Day Movie Night - Mar. 9

Updated: Mar 15, 2023

We are hosting a movie night in honour of International Women's Day and will be screening two documentaries made by women, about women:


Ohero:kon - Under the Husk follows two Mohawk girls on their journey to become Mohawk women and is a personal story of a traditional practice challenging young girls spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically, shaping the women they become. Watch the trailer here.


Ovarian Psycos is about a fierce and unapologetic group of young women of color who confront injustice, build community, and redefine identity through a raucous, irreverently named bicycle crew: The Ovarian Psycos Cycle Brigade. Watch the trailer here. (Trigger warning: this film contains references to sexual abuse and rape.)


Reserve your spot here.


This event is free, but we will be accepting donations for the Support Network for Indigenous Women & Women of Colour, so please consider bringing some cash with you.


** Please avoid wearing perfume, cologne or other scented products. **


Accessibility details: The workshop will take place at theDock, which is on the 3rd floor of 722 Cormorant Street.

There will be a variety of seating options, including folding chairs and space on the floor. There is free on-street parking available on Cormorant Street after 6 pm, directly in front of the building.
