An exhibition that ran March 12 to 20 at the University of Windsor’s School of Creative Arts (SoCA) Gallery invited visitors to reconsider the border not as a fixed line on a map, but as a shifting experience shaped by politics, access and personal history.
Shifting Borders examined how the international boundary between Windsor and Detroit — often perceived as close and easily crossed — can carry very different meanings depending on an individual’s circumstances.

For any musician, losing the ability to play their instrument sounds like a nightmare.
For Satoshi Yamaguchi, drummer for the Japanese rock band RADWIMPS, this became a reality while on a national concert tour in 2009.
Having developed musician’s dystonia, a rare neurological condition impacting his motor control, Yamaguchi continued to perform until 2015 when he made the decision to step away from drumming due to progressing symptoms.
