Pimiento

Portrait of Canadian artist Marc Séguin.

In Peru, the national gastronomy, regarded as one of the largest in the world, is at the heart of a movement of identity renewal. Charming because of its authenticity, despite its variety of influences, it is a true national pride as shown by the cultural and identity claims linked to it. Through various characters, we will trace the history, the mixed origins, the dishes and the favourite ingredients of this cooking style.

The Purge traces a dark and little-known moment in Canadian history: the systemic discrimination faced by members of the LGBT community within the Armed Forces and the federal public service. From 1950 to 1996, it was yesterday, no effort was spared to flush out these men and women deemed "immoral" and representing a "danger to national security": intensive and coercive interrogations, humiliating tests, polygraphs, forced confessions and denunciations.
