A midnight stroll in the neighbourhood

Overview

G.B. Jones's solo exhibition A midnight stroll in the neighbourhood brings together a selection of drawings, films and photographs, as well as a range of ephemera, including zines, posters, and vinyl records.

Jones has spent four decades working at the edges of Toronto's punk and queer scenes: co-founding the zine J.D.s with Bruce LaBruce in 1985, coining the term that became "queercore," drumming and singing with the band Fifth Column. Through her drawings and films, she transforms the categories history has used to discard or criminalise women–deviant, criminal, occult–into instruments of revolt, portraying her subjects not as oppressed figures, but as powerful agents in control of their own narratives.
