Archives that evade

Apr 12, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Matthew Molinaro

In 1974, the first Black woman Random House editor gathered photographs, sheet music, advertisements, obituaries, patent applications, materials, art, and ephemera in a collection entitled The Black Book. These archives, anthologies, collages, and scrapbooks celebrated, bore witness to, and captured the spectacular and the quotidian of Black life in all its forms since the so-called United States founding, all in one.

Apr 12, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Alex Sher

Originally conceived out of its founders’ struggles to pay their exorbitant San Francisco rent, Airbnb has become the very thing it had hoped to rectify. Driving rent increases and housing displacement, Airbnb exports risk, shirks responsibility, and generates massive profit. On March 16, a fire in a historic building in Montreal’s Old Port claimed the lives of seven people. In the weeks following the fire, reports revealed that six out of the seven people who died were staying in illegal Airbnbs.

Alternative drag: Screwing the patriarchy and feeding the children

Apr 4, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Suzanna Graham

When host Selma Ghad opens her show Coven, she invites her audience to take an oath where they promise to fuck with the patriarchy. From there, the cozy Diving Bell Social Club becomes a witching circle—an entrance into the wondrous world of alternative drag. Coven is a far cry from the traditional drag that populates mainstream media. Instead of glossy queens lip-syncing to top-40 hits, the show features burlesque performers, drag kings, and plenty of fake blood.
‘Basant’: A fading memory - The McGill Tribune

Apr 4, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Mahnoor Chaudhry

The paper rustles in my hands, light on my fingers, delicate, flimsy, daring to tear apart if treated with the slightest harshness (much like me). I put the wire through the holes, stretch the paper out, and add a little tassel to the end, making the patang my own. My dad stands on the opposite end, guiding and guarding, because he knows if this kite, my beloved guddi, gets the slightest rip, my eyes will let loose the river Nile.
Constellations of responsibility

Apr 4, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Shani Laskin

Among lush Amazonian flora in Oriente, the eastern region of Ecuador, pits of viscous, black oil dot the landscape. Iridescent streams infiltrate the rainforest. Aerial shots of unobstructed canopy cover are starkly contrasted with footage of large oil rigs set up in the forest. A few frames follow before the video shows a baby writhing from a skin rash. Minutes later, a woman cries as she describes the struggles she faces trying to pay for her 18-year-old daughter’s cancer treatment.
Reporting on what I’ve gained from campus journalism

Mar 28, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Juliet Morrison

There’s a certain rush that comes with writing an important story. The words stream out as you find the quote that reveals the essence of the piece. Bits of reporting you collate together into a story that guides the public and exposes the truth. I’ve been thinking about this rush a lot as I stare down the end of my third year at McGill and ask myself whether I want to pursue journalism professionally. Three years ago, the idea of doing journalism intimidated me.
CCP interference allegations are not an excuse for anti-Asian racism

Mar 28, 2023 | mcgilltribune.com | Caroline Sun

News coverage about the Chinese government’s alleged interference in Canada’s 2021 federal elections has continued for more than a month since The Globe and Mail reported that CSIS received intelligence about the Beijing government’s possible meddling in the 2021 federal election. The media attention has created a public uproar because of how it could threaten faith in our democracy and in Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership—to certain lawmakers’ benefit.
