Alexandra touched many lives. Deeply caring, passionate, kind, sweet, funny, inspiring. I’m so grateful our paths crossed.
Along with hundreds of community members, we are heartbroken to hear of the sudden passing of Alexandra de Kiewit. Alexandra was central to harm reduction and drug user advocacy not only in Quebec, but across Turtle Island and internationally.

ALT Beautiful black and white portrait photo of Alexandra de Kiewit. She's wearing a black dress with animal skeletons, skull earrings, and half of her head is almost-shaved with the other half long and flowing behind her. She is smiling big, almost as if laughing, looking off towards the right side. Photo credit: Hep C Stories, CATIE

A Night of Knowing Nothing opens this week at @tiff_net. While on TIFF’s Amplify Voices jury last year, was pleased to award it a $10K prize. Also won many more prizes, incl at Cannes. Go see it.
An electrifying debut, Payal Kapadia's A NIGHT OF KNOWING NOTHING is a fever dream of impossible love with a reflection on contemporary India. ✨
Presented in partnership with @imagesfestival, (re)discover the film at TIFF Bell Lightbox Aug 11–17: bit.ly/3S3tc8p
