DesignTO Youth: Touchbase

‘DesignTO Youth: touchbase’ is a group exhibition featuring 10 young artists and designers. Inspired by a six-week workshop series, aimed at demystifying the creative process and dissecting artistic practice, these youth have created new work that reflects themes of identity, resilience, and cultural heritage. Inspired by talks and workshops from wolari studio, Jananda Lima, Zahra Siddiqui, Alita, and Whak&Mo, youth were prompted to consider the complex role of artists and designers in society and how critical thinking can be used to generate creative solutions.

Featured Artists: Amaranna, Monica Cheng, Kimberly Hoang, Jennifer Huynh, Maryam Mohamed, Wishah Qaisar, Anella Schabler, Benjamin Valles, Jasmine Vanstone, and Elvin Velasco.

‘DesignTO Youth: touchbase' is organized by DesignTO in partnership with JAYU, and supported by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund, Government of Ontario and Entro. Collision Gallery provided by QuadReal.
