In my dream I pass a piece of bright blue fluff on the sidewalk and realize that is is the wig of a small elderly woman, who is about five inches tall. The wig has blown off in the wind and I return it to her, slipping it down over her head before continuing on my way. She's headed in the same direction, and I wonder if I should have scooped her up and carried her, but then I think that this would have been disrespectful and presumptuous.

Today I was invited to participate in an event at the Park Avenue Armory where artists and writers read manifestos, either ones they had written or those written by others. Here's what I wrote and read: As the great Madeline Kahn once sang: I am tired Tired of waking every day to the thrashing and bellowing of the massive unsatisfied beasts that presume to rule us.

In my dream D deftly pulls his car into the little garage below the brownstone. We are trying to slip into the movies without running into an annoying guy we know, but first I want to show D the apartment I've been using as a studio space. I go down some steps, open the door and find it's being used as a sex club.

In my dream we move along the street of an unfamiliar neighborhood. On our left, an open storefront where men shape wooden drums by hand. On our right, a traffic island is filled with a market bustling with brightly dressed people. I know they are from Congo.

In my dream someone has pasted scraps of toilet paper over the glowing camera lenses in the corners of the elevator. I appreciate the subtle bits of resistance.

In my dream the black reflective panels come to my waist, like a chic interior from the 1970's. I can't remember the word I was going to speak.

What happens when we stop asking whether there’s room for our bodies in fashion and start making the room ourselves? That’s the idea behind IN/EX/CLUSIVE, an afternoon and evening of fashion, art, conversation, and community taking place at articule on September 27 as part of Montreal Fashion Week 2026. But our contribution to Montreal Fashion Week doesn’t stop there! On September 23, we’re also excited to be part of something brand new: ACMI, the Association of Independent Fashion Designers, is launching its inaugural fashion show. The runway will bring together local independent designers for a show that puts the bodies, identities, and designs so often pushed to the sidelines of Fashion Week front and centre. This year’s collections imagine an alternate 1950s. A world where queer and gender-nonconforming people are visible in fashion, and disabled bodies are part of the story. Vintage lingerie and bridal pieces meet gender-affirming garments, gaffs and binders sit alongside mid-century silhouettes, and mobility aids become part of the visual language rather than something to hide. It’s a fashion show from a 1950s that never existed, but definitely should have. For us, the runway and IN/EX/CLUSIVE are part of the same larger conversation: who gets to be seen, who gets to participate, and who gets to decide what fashion is supposed to look like? IN/EX/CLUSIVE takes that conversation off the runway and into the room. Created by Origami Customs and artist Elio Choquette, the event will bring together designers, artists, performers, organizers, advocates, and other creatives to talk about what inclusion actually looks like in practice. There will be exhibitions, local vendors, artist presentations, mini-consultations, three bilingual roundtables, and plenty of opportunities to connect with the people behind the work. We’re especially excited about the panels, which bring together people who are actively challenging the systems that decide whose bodies belong in fashion, art, healthcare, public spaces, and culture. Interview with Adania Reyes (they/them), founder of the Calgary Fat Liberation Convention and Fat Fashion Fair  Last year, we had the pleasure of working with Adania Reyes, founder of the Calgary Fat Liberation Convention and Fat Fashion Fair. Their work was one of the inspirations behind IN/EX/CLUSIVE, and their perspective on fat liberation, accessibility, empathy, and community gets right to the heart of why we created this event in the first place. So, as we get ready for our upcoming panels, we sat down with Adania to talk about what inclusive spaces can look like, what we all stand to gain when accessibility is centred, and what it might actually take to build a world where more of us can move through it with dignity, freedom, and a little more room to breathe. Rae:  The Fat Liberation Convention and IN/EX/CLUSIVE both bring panellists, designers, artists, performers, and more from various disciplines to create a fat liberation space. Why is it important to cast a broad net when talking about inclusion and accessibility? Adania:  It is imperative that different intersectionalities, points of view, and walks of life have a say in inclusion and accessibility, as our biases and life experiences shape not only how we navigate and perceive the world, but also how we voice those concerns and how we advocate for our needs.  So having a variety of folks who experience life and have different needs will enrich our views of the world and ourselves in this world, and how we can best accommodate what folks require to live with dignity and ease, from a humane and empathetic point of view, and not solely from a profitable lens.  That being said, we have to also recognize that we will likely not be able to include everyone's needs without excluding others; however, when you start seeing the needs of a group, that might include the needs of another. Rae:   What is it that lives at the heart of all of these inclusive practices- the through line here? Do you see it as creating the world we want to live in? Shattering expectations and norms for a world made for normative bodies? Simply reminding us what brings us together as human beings? Something else? Adania:  What lives in my heart in inclusive practices is empathy. Living through the hardship of a disability or being a minority helps build that empathy, but you don't need to live through it exclusively to realize we all deserve to live our lives with respect, dignity, and not only to contribute financially to the pockets of others who do not care that the world burns.  It is creating a world where the basic needs are not only food, shelter, and water (which are becoming a luxury), but freedom of movement (immigration, travel, and joy in body movement), independence, community connections and belonging are part of those basics; and to build that empathy, we do have to shatter, shed and deconstruct what we believe to be

In my dream I stand at the part of the lobby where the elevators open and look at the cheap electronics in my arms. I'm going to give away these cell phones.
