Presented by ArtsEverywhere Festival
The 2026 Guelph Lecture—On Being will be presented by Cory Doctorow on the “enshittification” of the internet. The keynote lecture will explore how we can collectively respond to the decay of civil discourse caused in part by social-media-driven disinformation and an increasingly policed internet. Prior to the keynote lecture, poet and novelist Madhur Anand will present a literary reading, and Milton-based musician Billianne will perform a 30-minute set.
