If you have seen Nardwuar's many interviews, heard him on the radio in Vancouver or seen his band, the Evaporators, you know that Nardwuar is a strange character. His tendency to obsess on everything from Courtney Love to cheese and his screechy voice will make you either love him or hate him.
Rodman Hall saw the opening of its first major exhibition since Brock University acquired the gallery in September 2003. The exhibit, entitled Revealed: Women's Voices, featuring art by local female artists, opened on Feb. 29.

The Passion of the Christ is a two hour historical reflection depicting the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. Although this piece is entirely spoken in Aramaic and Latin, do not let this deter you from attending, as there are English subtitles for the audience's benefit.
