Behind The Masc: Carlos Andrés Gómez

"The single most revolutionary thing you can do is recognize that you are enough." - Carlos Andrés Gómez. Join us this Saturday.

Behind the Masc: with Carlos Andrés Gómez: A special interactive and intimate performance that looks at what it means to be a ‘good man’ in a world where ‘masculinity’ is confined by the narrowest of definitions. Carlos performs a spoken word piece addressing various themes around masculinity and then the audience shares provoked thoughts, their reflections and own related stories. It will also be an exploration of the powerful and beautiful things that can define manhood.

Saturday February 12th Carlos facilitates and performs the keynote at a discussion-focused conference looking at the spectrum of identities, experiences and realities that determine ‘What Makes a Man’.
10:30am – 3:30pm SCC 115, Student Campus Centre, 55 Gould St, Ryerson University
$5 for Ryerson members. $10 for friends of Ryerson (or pay what you can)
