The University of Toronto is excited to welcome two of Toronto’s most engaging artists Casey Mecija (Ohbijou) & Vivek Shraya (What I LOVE About Being Queer / She of the Mountains) for a tri-campus series of events featuring film, music and dialogue.

Casey Mecija and Vivek Shraya share their two short films, My Father, Francis and Holy Mother My Mother. These films explore the complex relationships between queer diasporic children and their parents. They are tributes to the often unrecognized labour of immigrant parents.

This series is presented by the University of Toronto Sexual & Gender Diversity Office and generously sponsored and supported by: Women and Gender Studies Institute, Canadian Studies, UTSC Equity & Diversity Office, UTM Equity & Diversity Office, Family Care Office, University of Toronto Art Centre (UTAC), Doris McCarthy Gallery, University of Toronto Mississauga Students’ Union.
