SUMMARY:Wildwoman
DESCRIPTION:In Wildwoman\, we follow the story of Catherine de Medici\, the young\, newlywed of King Henry II of France\, who thinks her life at court will be a fascinating forum of political discourse. Instead\, the palace is a cruel and disturbing place where her singular function is to be a baby-making machine for male heirs. Even the other women at her side\, a scheming lady-in-waiting and the king’s power-hungry mistress\, seem to mostly fend for themselves. The only kinship she finds is with the paperback-romance hot\, head-to-toe hair wildman kept in the dungeon as one of the king’s collection of caged oddities. The power and cruelty of the French Royal Court awakens Catherine’s own wild side\, and once she unleashes it\, no one is safe from her vengeful wrath.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Maria Ressa
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a timely and unflinching conversation with Maria Ressa\, one of the most courageous journalists of our time. \nNamed one of TIME’s Most Influential People and one of its Women of the Century\, Ressa has spent her career on the front lines of the global fight for truth and democracy. As co-founder and CEO of Rappler\, the top digital-only news site leading the fight for press freedom in the Philippines\, she has endured relentless political harassment under the Duterte government. Faced with 11 arrest warrants in just over a year\, Ressa has become one of the world’s most powerful advocates for press freedom and the integrity of our information ecosystems. In 2021\, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to safeguard freedom of expression. \nRessa’s most recent bestselling book\, How to Stand Up to a Dictator\, charts the global battle over digital truth and the future of democracies everywhere. The Financial Times called it a “highly personal\, powerful and important book” while The Guardian praised Ressa as a “moral giant.” \nIn 2022\, Ressa was appointed by the UN Secretary-General to the Leadership Panel of the Internet Governance Forum and serves as its Vice-Chair. She is also a Professor of Practice at Columbia University where she leads projects within the Institute of Global Politics related to artificial intelligence and democracy.

Her days are devoted to cultivating watermelon\, beans\, herbs\, and flowers\, and all entirely by hand. \nFor time go to website https://viff.org/
