WELCOME TO WINDSOR [+DETROIT]
Y ORCUPCOORDINATORS
ou’ve made it! Whether you never been to Windsor or Detroit or you’ve lived here your whole life, there is a good chance that you don’t know what goes on beyond the often misleading and sensational media representation of this region. Why are these city’s stories told so differently in the ink and radio/TV waves of the local versus international media? What are the stories behind the (head)lines? We are using this idea as a launch point, exploring the stories behind the obvious and sensational, and how we can use journalism to unearth the real stories behind our campuses and communities.

We’ve really noted a global urbanist awakening. There’s an excitement about cities. Cities have become the cultural and economic drivers of the world. I think there’s been recognition of this. That’s why people are moving to them.

The best in Canadian and worldwide indie take the tiny stage of Phog by storm weekly, including the likes of Cadence Weapon, Holy Fuck, Arkells, Tokyo Police Club, Owen Pallett, Patrick Watson and many more, that combined with the added bonus of flowing microbrews and amazing poutine make Phog worthy of our Friday night.

THECAPITOLTHEATRE
was designed by celebrated theatre architect Thomas W. Lamb, and opened in 1920. At that time, it was known as Loew’s Windsor Theatre, and like the other venues in that chain it was a combination house, offering both vaudeville and moving pictures. In 1975, the theatre was subdivided, and given three auditoria. The theatre is now a performing arts centre and the home to the Windsor Symphony Orchestra. For one night only, the Capitol will be home to our keynote Shawn Micallef followed by a concert featuring the death country of Windsor expats Elliott Brood and locals The Locusts have no King. [121 University Ave. W, downtown ] #6 ON MAP
