PRIZE INFORMATION:
HYSTERIA FESTIVAL - SATURDAY OCTOBER 24
featuring Shawna Dempsey (Winnipeg) and Tall Blonde Ladies (Sweden & Germany)
Evening Pass $15

Shawna Dempsey (Winnipeg)
8pm, The Cabaret
Shawna Dempsey discusses lezzie, feminist performance and video art, drawing upon examples from her 20-year collaboration with Lorri Millan. This Winnipeg-based duo has created uppity artworks such as "We're Talking Vulva", "A Day in The Life of A Bull-Dyke", "Lesbian National Parks and Services" and "Consideration Liberation Army". Shawna will be interspersing her talk and screening with live performance, reflecting Dempsey and Millan's own particular flavour of queer fun and funny Canadiana.

TBL [TallBlondeLadies] (Sweden & Germany)
9pm, The Chamber
Presented in association with FADO Performance Art Centre
A collaborative performance project between Anna Berndtson and Irina Runge. TBL inverts female stereotypes through the composition of absurd and unexpected performative gestures, incorporating a range of accoutrement from high-end fashion to sports gear. Their works present diametrically opposed concepts; beauty and grace are juxtaposed and diminished through brute action and athleticism, tacitly disrupting and challenging gender-based categorizations.
