Queer Asian Youth (QAY) is proud to be a community partner for the Toronto premiere of Fruit Fly by H.P. Mendoza, who brought us "the surprise indie hit Colma: The Musical" in 2006.

Fruit Fly follows Bethesda, a Filipino adoptee and performance artist who moves to San Francisco to workshop and perform her show about the search for her birth parents. She finds herself moving into a commune of transient artists who help her navigate the art scene of her new home and quickly anoint her the unwanted label of "fag hag."

The film is to be screened at Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Avenue on November 12, 2009 (Thursday) at 7:30 PM.

Art exhibit viewing and workshop!

Recently, museums and galleries have shown an interest in the colourful syncretism of the Day of the Dead celebration, focusing on the traditional and folkloric aspects of the ritual. Bringing Down Our Dead departs from that approach, offering a contemporary expression of the ritual, while reflecting the political and social beliefs of our times. The artists’ works -- painting, video, performance, and installation -- pay tribute to the memory of the departed, and they also denounce violence, voice concerns, and record everyday events. The approaches taken by the artists are informed by their individual experiences as well as by the ways in which contemporary issues both reflect and deflect from those experiences.
