Contributor Exhibits
This is Madness Canada’s public exhibit space, intended to showcase academic and community displays of interest. Do you have story that could be transformed into an online display – perhaps an art series, a thesis chapter, an outdated website, or a memoir that has been in a drawer for a decade?
If so, please contact us through madness@yorku.ca.
