We welcome expressions of creativity in a salon on Friday March 13th, World Sleep Day!
Starting from the work of the podcast Sleep is the New Sex (sleepisthenewsex.ca), in a one-night-only Salon: we will host artists, performers, composers, thinkers, film-makers, and presenters to install, deliver, perform, play, or show their work.
Many of us are anxious about sleep. Talk of it is everywhere. But are we always really talking about sleep when we talk about sleep? The podcast is a series of conversations about how cultural preoccupation with sleep is also about masculinity, femininity, sexuality, work, leisure, and time. It approaches sleep as a necessary and valuable part of human life, as well as a proxy for thinking about other things.
