Imagining A Queer Eruv: A Walking Conversation

**Join us for Imagining A Queer Eruv: A Walking Conversation with artist and
researcher Iso E. Setel. **Starting at Parc St-Viateur in Outremont, this
guided conversation will take us through the Mile End by way of the
neighbourhood’s back alleys and looping paths, ending in Champs des Possibles
with complimentary snacks and beverages. Along the walk, Iso will be sharing
their research and the work that went into creating their book, _Eruv: Queer
Installations of Jewish Space_ , while inviting attendees to reflect upon and
share their experiences in queer and Jewish spaces within and beyond Montreal.

This walking conversation and its associated book examine the ways in which
eruvin function as queer objects, dissolving distinctions between the public
and the private, and reconditioning spatial relations. _Eruv _collages
together text, photography, and paper-cut maps of ritual terrains to
articulate how eruvin might be utilized as ritual technology in projects of
queer liberation and community formation.
