2014 Gutsy Walk For Crohn's and Colitis on June 8

This walk raises funds for research that leads to better treatments and brings us closer to a cure every day.  

  

Crohn’s Disease affects over 129,000 people across Canada, with over 5,700 new cases diagnosed every year.  It is more than twice as common as multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease, and just as common as diabetes or epilepsy.  

People with Crohn’s face life with debilitating physical symptoms, social stigma, and mental health concerns.  Risk of premature death is 47% higher than that of the general public. 

It’s time to overcome the stigma of living with Crohn’s, and raise awareness.

Homophone: a word having the same sound as another, but of different meaning.
Homophonic: characterized by moment of all parts to the same melody; in unison.

We chose 8 of our favourite photographers and gave them each a homophone as a conceptual basis to their work. Pairing these works with poetry, we are putting selected parts of the 3rd Issue  of Rip/Torn right on the wall for you to see.

See new black and white photographs by Creature Haunts, Scott Leroux, Ian Johnson, Meg Kroeker, Meganelizabeth Diamond, Nic Adamson, Warren Humeny, Zoe O'Brien-Moran. Poetry by Andrew Eastman and Marika Prokosh.  MUSIC BY SELCI!
