On May 28, 2025, I will join with others at the Rocket Science Room for General Audience #17: ANTIFASCISM for a public conversation on daily practices of anti-fascism — planning to share some thoughts on speculative experiments in pedagogy, desire, and collective care as part of a broader inquiry into what it means to co-compose conditions for nonfascist life today.

General Audience #17: HOW BAD IS IT?

General Audience is back at Rocket Science Room!

General Audience is a community-based, informal lecture series, which provides an opportunity for people to share experience, knowledge, research, creative projects, information, or ideas with each other in a comfortable and friendly environment. Past themes for talks have included: PLAY, SOUND, DATING, GARBAGE, OUTER SPACE, PORNOGRAPHY, FEAR, PRISONS, MAGIC and TASTE.

After a long hiatus due to COVID (and Jessie’s move across the country to B.C.), General Audience Montreal is finally resuming with its 17th event: HOW BAD IS IT? With presentations (in English) from local anti-fascist organizers and thinkers exploring the rise of far-right movements in Quebec and beyond, emphasizing the urgency of resistance. Presentations will highlight both the broader political landscape and the power of everyday anti-fascist practices—through art, community, and conversation—while inviting open discussion in English and French. We hope to see you there!
