The SiteLines series supports bringing BIPOC artists, writers, and performers to a general public to share their work and address culturally specific needs in our communities. SightLines is a partnership between the Canada Council for the Arts and the Faculty of Art and Office of Research Services at OCAD University. The component of SightLines at Buddies will bring five writers from different communities and levels of experience to the stage for a monthly set of readings and explorations.
