Upcoming Events
February 27, 2026: Slow Game Exhibition (with Nicholas Taylor)
10:00am–2:00pm | CDRS, UTM
This event, featuring York University professor Nicholas Taylor, examines the interrelation of slowness, play, and production. It will consider the relationality of 'slow' and how machines must speed up or overclock in order to produce the experience of slowness.

POSTPONED - Date TBD: Bahar Behbahani x ICCIT—A student-centred conversation on visual culture
Due to unforeseen circumstances, the event has postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are working to secure a new date and will provide updates as soon as possible.
Please join us for this unique opportunity to connect with Iranian-born, Brooklyn-based artist Bahar Behbahani. Bahar's research-based practice approaches landscape as a metaphor for politics and poetics, in both historical and contemporary contexts. Bahar will be sharing her work as it unfolds across media, from creative repurposing of redacted documents to time-based media and everything in between.
Tea and coffee will be served. This event is sponsored by the ICCIT's Anti-Racism Committee and the JHI Program in the Arts.
