Trans/mission: Barley-Corn-Maize is Ron Benner’s mixed media installation in response to the mill as a producer of barley. Benner has devoted his artistic career to researching the economics of food and the impacts of contemporary industrialized food systems. His installations often offer visual accounts of his extensive investigation to trace back the root origin of our food and finding its migration rooted in colonialism and imperialism. Concerned with seed circulation and farming methods, local community and globalization, Benner’s work provides a unique and critical perspective on essential elements of modern food systems.

The Cinechats Film Festival is an acclaimed weekly (and year-round!) series of the best motion pictures from around the world. It's like TIFF, but right here in suburbia -- and without all the immodest hype. Instead, we have lively conversations after each film. To date, over 28,000 people have attended Cinechats, which is a not-for-profit community educational collaboration between Artsforum, the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), Durham College, and the Durham Council for the Arts. (Trent University in Durham has also ben a recent partner.) Cinechats was twice nominated for the region's Art of Transition Creative Award. Come see movies that will stir your emotions and make you think -- movies with award-caliber performances, movies for the artist in all of us. We've even had a world-premiere and some exclusive presentations of films before they were released commercially in North America.

Z’otz* Collective is comprised of Nahúm Flores, Erik Jerezano, and Ilyana Martínez. In their most recent work produced at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, Z’otz* Collective will investigate the concept of the niche as a point of departure. Waiting Outside of My Hand is an exhibition that explores the notion of a space “in which to nest”. A niche may be thought of as a recess or shadow box, to contain elements within a larger configuration. Using this as a point of departure, Z’otz* Collective produces contemporary niches in the form of boxes varying in size and strategically placed within a site-specific mural. Their niches will contain various objects sourced from the grounds surrounding the VAC. Each niche serves as a container of juxtaposed items that together suggest a narrative, forming an interconnected network of stories.

A one-day course is taught by a public health inspector. A written exam is taken at the end of the course. Participants who pass the exam will get a Food Safety Training Certificate and laminated wallet card.
