Big ’Uns
Dayna Danger’s photographs of oiled-up women and trans people with antlers in front of their crotches are strangely hot, but they also argue a point: it’s disturbing that hunting magazines use the same words to describe women, guns and game.
Opens Monday, Aug 3, 6:30pm; Runs until Monday, Aug 31, 2015. Venus Envy, 226 Bank St. venusenvy.ca

Gaymers
Gaymer Night at Swizzles
While artists use antlers to make political points and queers dance in arguably cramped quarters, a mixed crowd of nerds enjoy a laid back evening of board games. Many games are available, but this week’s featured games are Channel A and Room 25.
Tuesday, Aug 4, 6pm. Swizzles, 246 Queen St. For more information, visit Facebook.
