🤩💫 Back in January, in collaboration with and the Greater Sudbury Public Library Makerspace, COMMUNITY FUTURE COLLAGES were brought to life. Together, we created visual representations of what we hope to see in our community over the next years, drawing out community priorities and sharing our collective visions. A big thank you to everyone who showed up to create with us, and to Naomi and volunteers from Coalition for a Liveable Sudbury for making this possible.

Keep an eye out for our next Making with Myths, taking place on SATURDAY, APRIL 18TH at the Main Branch library (74 Mackenzie St.), where we’ll be creating WANTED POSTERS for community needs. More details to come.

Myths and Mirrors is proud to present... CJ The X!

Join us on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21 from 7:00PM-9:00PM at Sudbury Indie Cinema Co-op (162 Mackenzie St.) in conversation with artist/philosopher CJ The X, who will be presenting a 60-min original lecture on art, identity, and love, FOR IT'S OWN SAKE, followed by an audience Q&A.

For It's Own Sake is an analysis of the magical bits of life that make everything worth it. Tools like rituals, luxury and playfulness enchant the world and make an art out of living. By understanding them we can better appreciate Beauty where it is and plant it where it needs to be. Learn new ways of developing personal authenticity, creating magical moments, and cultivating community in an eclectic lecture and Q&A.

✨PAY WHAT YOU CAN - Reserve your ticket now through the link in our bio!✨

ABOUT CJ:
CJ The X is an artist and a philosopher based in Toronto that has been independently studying philosophy and creating content online since 2021. Since publishing their first video essay on YouTube they’ve amassed over 350 thousand subscribers, 15 million views, a robust crowdfunding base on Patreon and sold out lecture audiences around the world. Their breathless interdisciplinary approach makes them one of the most unique cultural voices in the internet age, blending irreverent humour, sharp intellectualism, and earnest spirituality.

In 2025 they performed their first lecture tour across Canada, the UK and Ireland, culminating in a sold out performance in London’s Leicester Square Theatre. They speak passionately on an eclectic array of subjects, from aesthetic philosophy, to the re-enchantment of the world and the pathologies of the digital age. Above all they emphasize the discovery of meaning beyond the boundary of Self.

When not philosophizing, CJ is also a rapper, producer, and playwrite, always most comfortable working on multiple projects in multiple mediums at once.

You can find their work in person, on Youtube, on Patreon, and at cjthex.com.
