If you are around Toronto next week, you should come to my screening April 30th! This immersive video installation brings together family archives, oral histories, and soundscapes to map infrastructures of diaspora, culture, and community 🙌🏽 schoolofcities.utoronto.ca/e…

As for my own research with @UofTCities & @CCA I've been exploring the multi-generational connection to place, space, and community I'm realizing that this CLT work I'm involved in is an extension of a family tradition that goes back generations... but more on that later 😜

1980's saw high immigration to Toronto. Brought with them knowledge and sounds of their respective cultures. Created a fusion. Might not be "original", but appreciation of different cultures was Toronto's sound and we should be proud of it.

Teachers. Dads can be mysterious creatures. I look in the mirror and see his features. But what about him? This is the only the second year without him. I’ll play an old tune to hear his voice through the speakers. No doubt. Kin. Wouldn’t be half what I am without him.
