Join Sarah Liss and Luis Jacob in conversation about the artist, activist, community builder, and queer party maker Will Munro. Drawing from the the Edward P. Taylor Library & Archives collection of Munro’s posters for events spanning the years 2000-2009, Liss and Jacob will reflect on their friend’s work, life, and legacy. 

Luis Jacob (born in Lima, Peru; lives in Toronto, ON, Canada) is an artist whose work destabilizes viewing conventions and invites collisions of meaning. He studied semiotics and philosophy at the University of Toronto.
