A black, white & red poster, with lots of info. The info not included in post reads: ABOUT: Our second Free School event “From Turtle Island To Palestine: Cross Movement Solidarity in Action” is a conversation with two pairs of activists working together within and across labour and Indigenous solidarity movements towards liberation in the face of genocide. Anishinaabe artist, activist, and educator Quill Christie-Peters and Maysam Ghani, a Palestinian educator, poet, and organizer, have a rich history of collaboration, building deep practices of joint struggle and responsibility between Anishinaabe and Palestinian communities. Palestinian Canadian social justice activist and professor Ala’ Qadi and Elizabeth Ha, a Chinese-Canadian labour and community activist are Vice-Chairs of OPSEU’s Coalition of Racialized Workers, organizing within the labour movement to dismantle systemic racism and highlight the Palestinian struggle. With facilitation by Dr. Lamya Amleh of Faculty for Palestine, this discussion will explore the power of collective resistance to restore hope and build resilience in the face of increased surveillance and state violence. Panelists and attendees are invited to reflect on the idea that landback and labour are both local and global movements. FREE SCHOOL 2025 From Turtle Island To Palestine: Cross Movement Solidarity in Action WHAT IS A FREE SCHOOL? Inspired by the Free School movement of the 1960s, this series is rooted in learning outside the classroom, through community, activism, and collective inquiry. In a time of rising facism and censorship, this year’s theme, “Access to Education in Unfree Times,” invites us to learn with and from truth-tellers that refuse to be silent and continue to fight for liberation. This year’s OSI’s Free School series is hosted in collaboration with Tangled Art + Disability.

Unify Deaf Film Festival (UDFF)
Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Dates: October 21–26, 2025

A Deaf-led film festival in Toronto showcasing films by Deaf and hard-of-hearing filmmakers.

More info:
undividedproduction.com/pages/event-...
The flyer features a bold and imaginative design set against a bright blue sky, with soft white clouds drifting near the bottom. At the centre stands a surreal reinterpretation of Toronto’s CN Tower, constructed from a stack of vintage television sets instead of its usual concrete body. The recognizable top of the CN Tower remains intact, rising above the TVs. Three birds fly near the top right, adding a subtle sense of movement and openness. From bottom to top, several of the TV screens display curated images — some lit with vibrant moments, others turned off or showing static: • The bottom screen shows a TTC Toronto streetcar, anchoring the festival in its urban home. • One of the upper screens shows a hand forming the “I love you” sign in ASL, symbolizing Deaf pride and love. • A few televisions are blank or turned off, adding visual rhythm and contrast. Other TVs highlight moments from the 2023 Unify Deaf Film Festival: • Features Joey and Jenelle giving their MC speech, captured at 2023 screening event. • A third shows a panel discussion during a screening, with the Unify Deaf Film Festival banner visible in the background. Framing the central illustration is bold, black, geometric text: • At the top: “UNIFY DEAF” • At the bottom: “FILM FESTIVAL” • Along the left side (vertical): “21–26 October 2025” • Along the right side (vertical): UDFF logo in a stylized, abstract form. The flyer is visually striking, blending Deaf identity, cinematic celebration, and Toronto’s iconic landscape into one cohesive, artistic statement for the second edition of the Unify Deaf Film Festival.
