Feature Film Screening: Iconic feminist musician, producer, director, and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow. Peaches (Toronto’s own Merrill Nisker) embraces the Teaches of Peaches Anniversary Tour as an opportunity to reflect on her past—from her musical beginnings creating songs for kids in daycare to her favourite stage costumes. Through biting wit and brash talent, Peaches advocates for body autonomy and LGBTQIA+ rights, leaving an indelible mark on popular culture. From vulva hats to hair suits, Peaches may be 57, but no one is going to keep her from challenging gender stereotypes, social norms, and the patriarchy until the world can finally “take it on, take it all on.”
Post-Film: Burlesque show hosted by The Femmes Rebelles and closing night party.
