Singer/songwriter Simone Schmidt will perform their show "Audible Songs from Rockwood" followed by a facilitated discussion with Ken Moffatt. Simone's performance is based on the two years they spent combing through the case files of people incarcerated at The Rockwood Asylum for the Criminally Insane between 1856-1881. Through their performance Schmidt attempts to remember ten women and offers questions about the archive as an apparatus of colonial power, definitions of sanity, and the settler-colonial agenda foundational to today’s carceral systems. This performance is based on the critically acclaimed album by Fiver by the same title.
We will have two ASL interpreters at this event

Biographie de Fiver
For almost a decade, Simone Schmidt has been writing new life into and around folk, country, and rock songs. Critically outspoken and largely evading the branding of the music industry proper by working under several aliases, Schmidt might be recognized as the front person and songwriter for country act One Hundred Dollars (2007-11) or psych rock unit The Highest Order (2011-ongoing), or from her solo work as Fiver (2012 - on). Schmidt has six LP's to her writing credit, along with a range of singles, collaborations with artists as wide ranging as hardcore punk phenomenon Fucked Up, to the inimitable USGirls, and Old Time and Bluegrass veteran Chris Coole. Schmidt has produced original works for film (World Famous Gopher Hole Museum, Land of Destiny) and appears as a guest vocalist on a number of records, including Doug Paisley, Tasseomancy and The Wooden Sky.
In April 2017, Schmidt released Audible Songs From Rockwood on Idee Fixe Records, a song cycle based on the lives of people incarcerated at the Rockwood Asylum for the Criminally Insane in Upper Canada between 1856 -1881.
