SUMMARY:2022 Cold War Speaker Series: Michelle Douglas and Christos Pantieras
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us virtually this fall to hear from experts about a variety of relevant Cold War themes and events.  \nMichelle Douglas and Christos Pantieras discuss the LGBT Purge as a part of the Cold War Speaker Series hosted by the Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum. \nDate: Thursday\, October 6\, 2022\nTime: 7:00 p.m.\nPrice: Free \nDetails:\n– Please RSVP at least 48 hours in advance in order to receive the join link.\n– Virtual attendance via Zoom. \nPresentation Topic:\nThe LGBT Purge: Yesterday\, Today\, and Tomorrow through Personal Experience and Visual Art.\nAs the 2022 Artist-in-Residence\, created Christos Pantieras a multi-layered installation about “Justin Case”\, a comic character created by Civil Defence Canada to promote preparedness and safety. Pantieras will discuss how his reinterpretation of the character portrays anxiety\, distrust\, and internal struggle and how he connected this to the LGBT Purge. \nSpeaker Bios:\nMichelle Douglas is the Executive Director of the LGBT Purge Fund\, a not-for-profit corporation that was set up to manage a portion of the funds that emerged from the class action settlement for LGBT members of the Canadian Armed Forces\, the RCMP and the federal public service who were systematically discriminated against. Michelle Douglas served as an officer in the Canadian Armed Forces from 1986 to 1989. She was honourably discharged from the military in 1989 as a result of the Purge. She launched a landmark legal challenge against the military’s discriminatory policies against LGBT service members that resulted in the ending of Canada’s discriminatory policies in 1992. Her experience in the military was the start of 30 years of social justice and human rights activism. \nChristos Pantieras is from Ottawa\, Ontario. He received an M.F.A. in sculpture from York University\, and a B.F.A. from the University of Ottawa. Pantieras explores themes of communication\, relationships\, and intimacy. Sourcing online language from emails\, text messages\, and gay hook-up apps\, he manipulates the digital word through analog processes. His work amplifies the resonance of a lost connection while blurring the boundaries between virtual space and physical space. Select institutions where his work has been presented include: the Ottawa Art Gallery\, The ArQuives\, Modern Fuel ARC\, AXENÉO7\, CIRCA Art Actuel\, and Artcite Inc. \n\n» Register for the Speaker Series\n  \nLearn more about the other presentations in the 2022 Cold War Speaker Series!\nSeptember 22\, 2022: Dr. Sean Maloney discussing Nuclear War Films. \nNovember 17\, 2022: Dr. Andrew Burtch discussing Canada\, the Cold War\, and the Korean War.

SUMMARY:2022 Cold War Speaker Series: Dr. Sean Maloney
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us virtually this fall to hear from experts about a variety of relevant Cold War themes and events.  \nDr. Sean Maloney discusses Nuclear War Films as a part of the Cold War Speaker Series hosted by the Diefenbunker: Canada’s Cold War Museum. \nDate: Thursday\, September 22\, 2022\nTime: 7:00 p.m.\nPrice: Free \nDetails:\n– Please RSVP at least 48 hours in advance in order to receive the join link.\n– Virtual attendance via Zoom. \nPresentation Topic:\nThe Secret History of Nuclear War Films. \nKing of the Cold War crisis film\, Dr. Strangelove became a cultural touchstone from the moment of its release in 1964. The duck-and-cover generation saw it as a satire on nuclear issues and Cold War thinking. Subsequent generations\, removed from the film’s historical moment\, came to view it as a quasi-documentary about an unfathomable secret world. \nSean M. Maloney uses Dr. Strangelove and other genre classics like Fail Safe to investigate a curious pop cultural contradiction. Nuclear crisis films repeatedly portrayed the failures of the Cold War’s deterrent system. Yet\, the system worked. What does this inconsistency tell us about the genre? What does it tell us about the deterrent system\, for that matter? \nBlending film analysis with Cold War history\, Maloney looks at how the celluloid crises stacks up against reality — or at least as much of reality as we can reconstruct from these films with confidence. The result is a daring intellectual foray that casts new light on Dr. Strangelove\, one of the Cold War era’s defining films. \n\n» Register for the Speaker Series\n  \nLearn more about the other presentations in the 2022 Cold War Speaker Series!\nOctober 6\, 2022: Michelle Douglas and Christos Pantieras discussing the LGBT Purge. \nNovember 17\, 2022: Dr. Andrew Burtch discussing Canada\, the Cold War\, and the Korean War.
