Toronto-based multi-media artist Chase Joynt's gallery show RESISTERECTOMY marks the official launch of Tell Me The Truth, a year-long collaboration between Joynt and sociology professor Kristen Schilt, sponsored by a Mellon Fellowship in Arts Practice & Scholarship at the Richard and Mary L. Gray Center for Arts and Inquiry.

RESISTERECTOMY juxtaposes the narrative of trans* sex reassignment surgeries with the narrative of cancer surgeries – mastectomy and hysterectomy – the same surgeries, organized in relation to very different modes of telling, showing and embodiment.  More info at: chasejoynt.com/projects/resisterectomy
