Becoming Woman

The following video clips were part of an MFA project that was rejected by a University due to its subtext of 'difference'. Furthermore this project 'subversive' nature resulted in the student being emotionally and physically harassed on and off campus. And despite the clear University and the Ministry of labour's policy on fostering a safe working environment and along with both the University and the Ministry of Education's mandate for increasing university access for persons of ' difference' her complaints to the university authorities resulted in her expulsion. This in turn not only justified the poor treatment of female students of difference but it became permissible and even desirable to do so .

Unfortunately this is not the first time that this has happened to female graduate students at this University and it may not be the last.


The following clips are dedicated to all females of difference who despite the great many barriers will do more than just survive .
