Demonstrations have been happening across the country in the wake of Jian Ghomeshi’s not-guilty verdict last week, and today Montreal gets its turn.

Phillips Square (Ste-Catherine & Union), 4 p.m.

Check out the a vernissage for a series of photographs by photographers David Dworkind and Matthew Hood, taken during recent travels to Nepal and India. Bonuses: Ten per cent of the proceeds of all print sales will be donated to the non-profit Nepal Communitere, and treats from Cook Caravan will be on hand for visitors. MainLine Gallery (3905 St-Laurent), 6–9 p.m., free

If you think ballet isn’t your thing, this show may inspire you to reconsider your position: The Marie Chouinard Company and DanseDanse present contemporary adaptations of a pair of classics, namely The Rite of Spring and Prelude to the Afternoon of a Fawn (composed by Stravinsky and Debussy, respectively) at Place des Arts’s Théâtre Maisonneuve, tonight through Saturday. See more about this show here. 175 Ste-Catherine W., 8 p.m., $36.75–$64.25
