The Rated R Art Show & Beguilling

All ur curators R belong to us

This is a satirical profiling of Eric Kim and Mara Sternberg, curators of the 2009 Rated R Art Show. Together with a film crew, the pair sequester themselves deep into the wilds of northern Ontario in preparation for the Fall Art Show. With the camera set upon them so as to objectively frame their state of mind and capture the tension and its subsequent happenings, there is great build-up to the eventual and climactic release.

The Beguilling

Founded in 1987, The Beguiling has set a new standard in Canada for comics and graphic novel retail. Showcasing the largest selection of alternative, underground and avant-garde graphic story telling in the country, The Beguiling has a worldwide reputation for excellence. Among the many accolades afforded the store, the most prestigious was the first-ever Will Eisner Spirit of Retailing Award for excellence in retailing.
In its long history, The Beguiling sponsored numerous book launches, author signings, readings and other comic events. It has featured legendary creators including Robert Crumb, Harlan Ellison, Jamie Hernandez, Neil Gaiman, Joann Sfar, and literally hundreds more. In 2003 several members of The Beguiling staff founded the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, bringing alternative and independent comics creators from around the world to Toronto to celebrate the best in comic art. Held every two years, the show continues to thrive and grows in size with each iteration.

Music is Brahms “Rhapsody, Op.79-2″

Woman Abuse Affects Our Children

Module One:

“To ensure that educators fully understand issues surrounding woman abuse, the Module One video focuses on defining woman abuse and on how the abuse of women can have an impact on children’s emotional, physical, and social development and behaviour.”

Module Two:

“It is important for educators to be able to recognize when children are victims of woman abuse. Module Two presents various scenarios that educators may be faced with along with specific strategies that enable them to respond to the issue of woman abuse in both a sensitive and professional manner.”

Module Four:

“Often the most difficult issue surrounding woman abuse is how to respond when there are reasonable grounds to suspect that abuse is occurring in the home. Module Four discloses the fears that many educators have regarding their obligations to report cases of abuse and discusses what steps educators should take to report children who are in need of protection.”

Module Five:

“Responding to violence against women is not the duty of one person, but is the shared responsibility of all. Module Five assists educators in identifying and establishing strong relationships with community-based organizations that provide support and referral services for families who are exposed to abuse.”
