Improvising Care Conference Day 4, IICSI Annual Conference
Venue: McGill University, New Music Building/Elizabeth Wirth Building, 527 Sherbrooke St. West in room Room A832-833
Directions: Improvising Care events originally scheduled to take place at CIRMMT on Monday, Oct. 7 have been moved to La Sotterenea, 4838 St-Laurent. Please note this is the only change of venue, every other day will take place as and where originally planned. In light of McGill’s decision to limit access to all campus buildings, particularly on Oct. 7, and the distinct possibility of protests outside the building CIRMMT is located in, which might make freedom of movement and access difficult, we have decided to move this day’s activities. But also, and importantly, the stated desire of the Pro-Palestinian protest movement to shut down campus activities on this day of protest is something we wish to honour and abide by.
