“Hovering between landscape and abstraction,” the pamphlet reads, “Sovereignty in Pink challenges traditional perceptions of the North as a land of ice
and snow.”
Involvement is key to an artist’s success in this community.
Montreal-based visual artist Hannah Claus has brought the sky to Kingston.
When the temperature drops and the sidewalks disappear beneath inches of ice, there is nothing as nice as a warm bowl of soup.
The thing is, all the additives in canned soup probably won’t gel with your New Year’s resolution, and making soup from scratch always seemed a bit intimidating. The good news is making soup doesn’t have to be a challenge. When you decide what goes into the pot, there is no reason to fear sneaky, less-than-healthy ingredients.
Two days later, a dozen speakers and panelists broadened my view on apathy, passion and rage.
Speakers at the sixth annual Queen’s Conference on Philanthropy (QCOP) ranged from Canadian Olympic team wrestler Ohenewa Akuffo to former child soldier Michel Chikwanine. Other speakers included Russ McLeod, chief operations director of Me to We, Adil Dhalla, director of culture at the Centre for Social Innovation, Shawn Cheung, founder of Raising the Village.
For students who miss home, a weekend trip back to cities like Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, are short, providing only a tease of the comforts of home.
Mike Butler is coming back to an old home.
Doing what you love is a journey of self-discovery, something Michael Kenney, ArtSci ’08, found
through filmmaking.
Vogt’s own brand of light-hearted comedy shines in their second installment of the year, Vogt Biographies.
Maybe 2014 will prove different for Miley Cyrus.
Last year, she was the centre of chatter and controversy for outrageous behaviour and wardrobe choices (including Terry Richardson-associated visuals and wrecking balls, and foam fingers and Robin Thicke escapades at the 2013 MTV EMA.)
Are you looking to get a head start on music trends for the upcoming year? Whether searching for the next household name, a unique sound or an underground act, there are plenty of fresh-faced musicians to keep on your radar in 2014. Here are five artists to watch for:
Sam Smith
When you were 12 years old, what did you do in your spare time? Watch TV? Play with your friends? Or did you edit neuroscience papers for a scientific journal?
So you’re going to a kink event – or maybe you’re thinking about it. Maybe you want to get a little more information on what it actually means. In the future, I’ll go over some basic points on what to expect and how to behave at kink events. This first entry is on public events.
How can I tell if it’s public? If it doesn’t require an invitation, and you can find information on it online or on a poster, it’s probably public. That means it’s similar in concept to other club events in terms of venue (a bar, dancefloor, mingling), except with kink!
A computer screen or a phone doesn’t seem like a normal place for a relationship to begin.
Johnny Nash’s hit “I Can See Clearly Now” never sounded so good.
Abstract expressionism has always strived to represent individualism, freedom and an authentic self.
The sound of a drum is not unlike that of a heartbeat.
A healthy and delicious treat, these cookie dough bites are a sweet reprieve from the post-New Year’s attempt to eat healthy by eating bland.
You can indulge in these cookies without feeling guilty – particularly because of the ingredients.
Deep down in Botterell Hall hundreds of students pass through to grab a quick breakfast every week. The mood is positive and lively; there are no tears despite this cafe being under a medical library.
The general happiness of the cafe is largely due to one cashier, Lauren Webb. Lauren is known to many students for being one of the nicest women they have met at Queen’s. She may be the nicest person I have met in all of Kingston, maybe even all of Ontario.
While most sought a New Year’s kiss as the clock struck midnight this Jan. 1, the year 2014 signalled the start, for many, of the build up to the next election. Not the student government election, but the Canadian one. Although the next federal election isn’t for over a year, the Liberal, Conservative, New Democratic, Bloc, and Green parties are gearing up for what is anticipated to be one of the most contested elections. No longer are federal elections a two party race. The simple fact, however, is that they don’t care about you — the student.
