Behind the Masc: Defining Masculinity with Carlos Andres Gomez

An intimate evening with spoken word artist Carlos Andrés Gómez as he comes to Ryerson for a special intimate performance that looks at what it means to be a ‘good man’ in a world where ‘masculinity’ is confined by the narrowest of definitions. It will also be an exploration of the powerful and beautiful things that can define manhood "...giving men the permission to be the best versions of what they can be".

Starting the main show with a powerful spoken word piece will be V Tran from V-Day at Ryerson and Come Unity and Neree Smith from Urban Hip Hop Union

Special Guest Boonaa Mohammed will open for Carlos!
