Find Your Passion AND Get a Job-Recap
We had two speakers, McKenzie from Jobs West and Angie from Kudoz, presenting to a large and interested group. McKenzie enjoyed connecting with families and introduced us to the stages of customized employment, where jobs are created for those with developmental disabilities. McKenzie spoke about Job West’s “3 Cs to Success” – consistency, client help and customizing roles. Second, Angie spoke about Kudoz community experience. The organization began with a three month experiment in a Burnaby housing complex around community inclusion. It was found people with cognitive disabilities were isolated from novel learning opportunities so they tested then launched an online platform matching a one hour experience for people with disabilities to interesting experiences offered by volunteers. “Kudoers” can encounter anything from a Mennonite Cultural experience to bread making and tricycle riding. For more information on Jobs West and Kudoz see their websites.
I look forward to seeing you in June.

What is a mark? In a settler colonial society we have a very solidified perception of what “counts” as worthy of articulating. Programmed in an imperial tradition, we literally count success and attach dates to significant momentous occasions, times in history when someone is said to have “accomplished something” that should be celebrated and then written down to measure its worth, annually. HIStory has tried to erase the Other in its wake of calculating difference, asserting authority, superiority, a bar to be set by systems of power to ensure the success of a single story.
2018 marks 10 years of the Queer Arts Festival and Pride in Art’s 20th year as an artist-led organization. 2018’s curated visual art exhibition DECADEnce remembers the Other marks and interrogates what we collectively choose to celebrate. By engaging queer artists across disciplines DECADEnce explores marks that live beyond the page, numerical devices, and quantitative data; the mark that lives in actions unnoticed, voices unheard, lost stories of self, and races won in forgotten Herstories/Ourstories.
