The post was shared almost 50 times on the first day. Since that day in 2013, that post has grown into the Feminist Art Conference a week-long celebration of work that pushes for equal- ity of all kinds and features almost 90 artists from around the world | metrsNEws | S| Toronto lene Sova turned a desire to connect with a larger community into a multi-day art conference that draws people from around the world. vaxcemcwuauror mere Topics range from gender and entrepreneurship to class and work, “There's a whole move- ment around the world for artists making art about social change,” Sova said, “Particu: larly in an age when every- thing is visual, with photos and images on the Internet.” It’s no coincidence, she said, that the event took off during a time she calls “particularly tough” for women. At the time, articles about the shooting of activist Malala Yousafzai and Canada’s mis- sing and murdered indigen- ‘ous women were starting to get more attention. ' @perans The Feminist Art Conference runs through the weekend with exhibitions, artist performances and panels. Most events are happening at ‘OCAD University. Visit factoronto.org for a full schedule. Andrea Thompson, a longtime spoken word poet who has participated in the fest val for the last three years, said the conference has only become more relevant this year. She points to President. elect Donald Trump's com- ments about groping women, or comparing them to dogs. “There's a global social cli: mate where misogyny has gained a bit of a foothold,” she said. “People are feeling nerv- ous that there's going to be backsliding.” But she points to the Toni Morrison quote about how artists need to get to work in “times of dread.” It's a reigniting of pas sion, and getting more excited,” she said. "Not that 1 wasn't excited before, but now you see how crucial it is to speak out.” ENTERTAINMENT Toronto’s music venues are disappearing, and it’s complicated In the first two weeks of Janu- ary, Toronto music venues seemed to be dropping like flies. First there was the announced insolvency of favourite folk hangout Hugh's Room and the DIY punk venue Soybomb HQ, and then last week, dance club and indie band venue The Hoxton announced that it's closing its doors at the end of January. While the overall impres- sion is that the 2017 Toronto live music scene is hurting due to dwindling attendance and interest, the reasons behind each venue's closure seems to be more complicated than sim- ply attributing them to audi ence apathy. For example, businessman Richard Lambert, who co-owns the Hoxton with Toronto con- cert promotion firm Embrace ‘and has hosted a wide variety of acts, Djs and after-parties ranging from The Chainsmok- ers to Skrillex to Zedd at the 627-capacity venue over the past five years, said that it wasn’t financial considerations that resulted in its closure, guarantee you we would rot close that club if the land- lord had said, ‘Here's a five- iss) We would not close that club if we had a five-year lease. Richard Lambert year lease, " Lambert said on Monday. “It would still be there — probably not because of me, but because the Embrace boys, this is what they do.” ‘Although he insisted he has a good relationship with the ownerdevelopers of the property near King and Bathurst Sts., the lease extension was prohibitive enough to warrant curtailing the business. “Being in a property that's been purchased by a developer and you know their plans are to develop this property — so for that reason, they won't give you a longenough lease from which you can develop your business in a way that you want to keep doing it,” he explains. “IfThave to put in a new walle in cooler for 20 grand, I'm not ‘going todo that if've only got a six-month lease.

She would not say whether the province will consider with- holding any funding from Pride to force a change.

Still, this is what scientist are finding when studying palm oil extracts. A recent study was done at the University of Malaysia with 38 people suffering from hair loss (alopecia)* They were told to take a palm oil extract containing a special ratio of "super- antioxidants” called tocot: rienols, known to lower oxi- dation in the scalp and thus allow for better - and new - hair growth. The results were surprisingly good! In Canada, this complex of tocotrienols is now available in the Health Canada licensed product called Hair Gro™ from New Nordic. Hair Gro is available now at participating pharmacies and health food stores. For more information or to, purchase directly, please visit our website or call: (1-877-696-6734.

At the end of the study, the participants 0 cotrienol supplement had gained 34.5% more hair or an increase in average hair count from 285 to 383 hairs.

FF wanren merRo Making it with Metro cencariviry Artist finds success with newspaper collage artwork A Dartmouth-based collage artist who turned daily free newspapers into an art career is offically opening her studio this weekend, ‘About two and a half years ago, Rhonda Barrett was preg- nant, teaching yoga and making very little. “It was a case of you need money to make money.” she recalled. She was always interested in the arts, but had never con- sidered it as a career. Barrett lived in Halifax at the time and often found herself at the Halifax North Memorial Public Library. “The Metro is outside and I'd always go and get the newspaper each day. After a month T had this stack of paper” she recalled. “Llooked at it one day and 1 thought ‘Paper! It's free!" 1 went to the dollar store. My first canvas was a 16x20 from the dollar store.” Barrett's first newspaper collage piece was inspired by Roxy Dilite, her favourite burlesque star. She posted a photo on Facebook asking her friends if anyone would consider buy- ing it The response was immediate. It sold for $150, giving her the cash she needed to purchase supplies to create more newspaper collage artworks. In the past two years she has created more than 100 pieces, many of them commissioned. Some are famous personalities like Bob Marley and Audrey Hepburn. She's currently working on a portrait of Kurt Cobain. (Other pieces include Peggy's Cove and artworks inspired by her yoga practice, province or news of the day. “My biggest hurdle is people look at this and from afar, they're not going to think this is newspaper. It's about bringing some- tone close enough where they see the texture and ask what is this made of. she said. “If take one and hold it up to the light, you can see the backside of the paper. All of the words and images start to come through.” She's received Artzone Gal- Jery’s award for new emerging artist and was also chosen as a finalist in the frst international Nonesuch Art on Paper awards last year “The pieces are dated by the papers I've used ... t's kind of aan interesting time capsule,” Barrett said. ‘Some of the artwork made from newspapers. serFHaRPERIMETRO
