IN THE COMMUNITY

Our workshops and open forums are designed to improve accessibility to contemporary and diverse arts practices in underserved and high-risk communities in Ontario.

It has been incredibly rewarding to see new audiences engage with us, while we were enabling them to articulate their own experiences and often to build new connections at the same time.

IN THE SCHOOLS

Our work in schools is designed to stimulate and support high school students in their development of cultural literacy, creative expression, as well as critical and imaginative reflection; with an array of reciprocal benefits for students and the communities in which they live.

The programs are related to the Ontario curriculum and provide teachers with powerful tools to effectively engage students on historical and current issues of displacement, racism, poverty and violence, as well as inspire collaboration, resilience and hope.
