I spoke to @OALA_ON w/ @sarauds @brycemiranda @Park_People about how the design of public space elucidates our preconceptions of who does — and doesn't — belong. For unhoused people, being unwelcome looks like hostile architecture, or no running water. oala.ca/ground_article…


Sweetheart: A One Woman Musical written and composed by my pal @dmburry was originally performed and recorded at @queensu in December 2021. The streamed version premieres tomorrow, Jan. 27, 7:30 pm + will be available to watch until Feb. 6: facebook.com/events/1344390…

Love this interview with Hiba Abdallah. "... really good public art is rooted in the sense of a community or a space that’s had sincere and genuine input from a community or neighborhood." spacing.ca/toronto/2021/1…

There are ways to break decimating gentrification on the arts. Here are a few. There is so much more we can all do.
