Happening on Tuesday May 29 - Tough Guise: An Evening of Film and Discussion with Paul Baines "Shoulder to Shoulder: Men and Vulnerability" is a 26 minute video by local Media Educator, Producer, and Organizer, Paul Baines.
In a culture of tough guys and strong-yet-silent types, we hear barely a whisper from men talking about vulnerability. What does vulnerability feel like? What barriers keep men from being more vulnerable? How does a lack of vulnerability affect men's relationship with others and themselves?
Paul Baines wanted to focus on these questions by looking both outward and within. He spoke to a group of five men who shared his experience of supporting men living with a disability.
It is in the shelter of each other that the people live. - Irish Proverb
We will also show clips from “Tough Guise” which is an educational video by the Media Education Foundation. (www.aml.ca)
Tough Guise is the first film aimed at a general audience to analyze masculinity as a social construction, a performance or role. Jackson Katz, a former all star football player and pre-eminent gender violence prevention trainer, takes us on a harrowing tour of contemporary masculinity using stunning imagery chosen from a broad range of popular culture.
