Black Art Mobile Collage Studio
Date: Tuesday, October 15
Time: 12 pm – 3 pm
Location: Davis Food Court
Black @ UTM is proud to commission renowned mural artist Curtia Wright to make a special mural for us. The mural will explore and evoke what it means to ‘belong’ as a Black person at UTM.
As part of the process, Curtia wants your input!
On Tuesday October 15, between 12 pm and 3 pm, Curtia will set up a mobile collaging station in the Davis Food Court. You are invited to drop in, share ideas about what community and belonging looks like and feels like. Tell us about if this feeling exists at UTM and how it can come together.
If you’re feeling crafty, Curtia invites you to her mobile collaging studio, where you can create images that express these ideas and feelings. (Questions about what a collage actually is? Check out this amazing – sort of long – tutorial by artist Helina Metaferia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUOMhVwnQ98)
We need Black community voices to speak about their experiences and inform the art that will grace the walls of the places they inhabit.
Please drop in at the food court at lunch time. We hope to see you there!
If you’re not on campus on Tuesday 15th, there is still a way to share. Check out this questionnaire made by Curtia: https://forms.office.com/r/7tbCqDxfaK that asks some questions about being Black and belonging at UofT.
