SUMMARY:In Conversation with CBC’s Bob McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Bob is best known as the host of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks\, in addition to being an author and science journalist.   What if Everything We Know is Wrong? Throughout history\, science has shown us time and again that the way we perceive the world through our five senses is incomplete. When we look around\, the Earth appears to be flat and unmoving. It took a lot of science\, mathematics and engineering to figure out that we live on a ball that spins like a top\, circles a star\, which circles a galaxy that is only one of billions of others in an ever-expanding universe.   This illustrated talk is a journey through time to look at significant thinkers (including Galileo) who altered our perception of the universe. And this process is not over. There is still much we don’t know!   This event is in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of THEMAKERSPACE\, and is a part of The da Vinci Dialogues.

SUMMARY:M4LL PH0T0 POP-UP (Holiday Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Remember the mall portrait studio? Fake bookshelf backdrop\, a fern\, a stranger counting down from three while your mom fixed your collar. It's back\, and it's parked at Square Peg for the Christkindl Market.  We do floating-head portraits — the '80s/'90s department-store composite\, done properly. Three backdrops per session (laser\, muslin\, whatever we've dragged out for the occasion)\, you sit for us\, and you leave with the kind of portrait that's been hanging over your grandma's fireplace since 1987. Want the little inset in the corner? Fill it with whatever you want. We won't ask.  The family Christmas card\, done properly — which is to say\, badly. Holiday portraits for people who don't want the same soft-focus fireplace photo as everyone else. Families\, couples\, solo glamour\, pets\, cursed novelty items you insist on holding — all welcome. No theme too weird\, no judgment on record.  Drop-in sessions\, no appointment. Just show up.  Have questions? Go to our IG @m4llph0t0 (https://www.instagram.com/m4llph0t0/) November 30th – December 13th $25 a human Square Peg · during the Christkindl Market\, Kitchener City Hall
