"description": "https://ticketfi.com/event/4837/love-your-body-week-bust-casting\n\nBust casting is a creative and fun way to celebrate bodies! We will be making plaster casts of our busts in a private, safe and body positive environment. There will also be discussion about sexualization of breasts, the ways in which feminization of breasts perpetuates transphobia and body image. Two days after the inital event, participants will be able to paint their bust and take it home!
This event will take place on November 16 from 7pm-9pm in SLC 2102.
NOTE:
Note:
This event is for women-identifying people, people with breasts, and non-binary individuals.
Participants will need to get topless, and the door will be locked once the casting process begins to ensure no one is able to walk in and disrupt the safe environment. Participants are also encouraged to wear clothes that they do not mind getting dirty. Bust casting is a messy but worthwhile activity!

Women's Centre
The Women's Centre aims to provide a female-positive and supportive environment on campus for all women and trans* folks. We’re run by dedicated student volunteers that help create a safe space for everyone. We hold workshops, events film screenings, and campaigns to educate on various issues through an intersectional feminist lens.
The Centre provides students with sexual health resources such as condoms, pads and pregnancy tests. We have peer support hours where students can drop by for support on any and all issues. The Women’s Centre also has an extensive library of over 900 books that cover a variety of topics surrounding all women and trans women including plays, poetry, queer theory, indigenous, philosophy/religion/spirituality and employment/education/economy! Subscriptions to magazines such as Bitch and Herizons are available. Make sure to stop by the Centre and come visit us!
We pride ourselves on being intersectional and providing a safe space for students to go; everyone is welcome at the Women's Centre!
