Depicted in One Equal Light, the 17th-century poet and priest John Donne is most famous for having risen from his deathbed to deliver his own sermon, titled Deaths Duell, or, a Consolation to the Soule, against the dying Life, and living Death of the Body (1633). Here it is!

EMILIA-AMALIA is an exploratory reading, writing, and research group, co-founded by Annie MacDonell, Cecilia Berk, Yanyia Lee, Gabrielle Moser, Zinnia Naqvi, Leila Timmins, Joy Xiang and Shellie Zhang. They strategize ways to activate intergenerational exchange, intersectional feminist knowledge production through collaboration and mentorship. Their name is inspired by 70s Italian feminist movements, who valued disparity between women and affidamento or “entrustment,” a mutually supportive system of mentorship between two women.

OUTHERE (for Lee Lozano) was originally developed by Fortuné and MacDonell as a performance for the Art Museum at the University of Toronto. Due to COVID-19 the performance was moved online but people who signed up to see the performance received a mailout package of content put together by the artists. Among many things, the package included this portrait of Lozano by Toronto artist Claire Greenshaw and the performance’s script.
