Pièce I2 - Darlington Hex

Video with no sound filmed by Judith Quinlan on a Super 8 Camera of a small hexing circle organized by Judith for a group of feminist climate activist (possibly the Women Against Nuclear Power group in Toronto) at a large anti-nuclear protest against the Darlington Nuclear Power Plant (today called Darlington Nuclear Generating Station) in Clarington, Ontario. Judith Quinlan writes "We made a hexing circle at the protest to close the Darlington Nuclear Power Plant." Video depicts protesters in a large field during summer and a smaller group playing instruments, waving cylinder tubes, and forming a hexing circle. Judith Quinlan writes “One of the speakers in the week leading up to it was Ursula Franklin. The hex was a small portion of that protest. It was organized by me and a group of feminists who were also climate activists.” Other people seen in the video are Gay Bell, Anne Quigley, Ellen Quigley, Jacqueline Frewin, Pat Smith, and Maureen Sanderson. Gay Bell writes in an article titled “Witches ANT: Anti-nuclear guerilla theatre” on page 7 of the October/November 1979 issue of UPSTREAM that the guerilla theater section of Women Against Nuclear Power called Witches ANT is putting on a play called “Sizzle City: Women’s Nuclear Reactions”. Gay Bell writes “The Witches' ANT came together to do anti-nuclear theater after the June occupation of the Darlington Nuclear Plant site near Toronto.”
