I’ve recently been informed of a wonderful event. Remembrance of Patients Past (UTP) is a groundbreaking study by Geoffrey Reaume. To celebrate the re-issue, Goeffrey Reaume will conduct a walking tour of the wall surrounding the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) at 1001 Queen St. W. The walk will then be lead to the Gladstone Hotel where he will carry an on stage conversation.

Workman Arts’ exhibition The Story Behind the Wall, which has been inspired by Reaume’s text, will be featured on stage. A silent auction of bricks painted by local artists will then commence. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Psychiatric Survivors Archives of Toronto (PSAT) for the purpose of purchasing commemorative plaques detailing the history of the 19th century patient built wall and other aspects of unpaid patient labour. Marc Glassman, Executive Director of This is Not a Reading Series will be hosting the event, presented by the University of Toronto Press, Gladstone Hotel, NOW Magazine, Torontoist.com, Take Fie on CIUT, Psychiatric Survivor Archives of Toronto and Workman Arts.

The event will be held on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 8 PM. Doors will be open at 7:30 PM and entrance will be $5.00 or free with a book purchase.
