The Learning Zone

Feminist FOMO NOMO: Show What Feminism Means To You Art Exhibition is coming to OCADU Library Services: The Learning Zone November 10 — December 6.

Feminist FOMO NOMO embraces the term FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) by connecting artists coming from different histories, mediums and perspectives. Seeking to alleviate fear and create a safe space for participation and acceptance, allowing all to contribute.

What does feminism mean to you? Feminist FOMO NOMO is an all inclusive project that welcomes any creative work, expression or material.

Good news, a call for submissions for October 27 has now been extended to November 3!
