Critical Distance Suite 122 at 401 Richmond Street West, Toronto

As part of Ontario Culture Days at 401 Richmond Street West, Burnt Sugar artist Bushra Junaid will share her collage practice in a drop-in hands-on workshop. Junaid will describe how she has treated turn of the twentieth century photographs of Caribbean sugarcane workers as family portraiture; renaming and reinventing them to resist erasure. Materials will be provided. Using paint and found materials (i.e. magazines, fabric, matte board, etc.) workshop participants will create one-of-a-kind collages that engage with the themes of the Burnt Sugar exhibition. We also encourage you to bring your own family photos, mementos, and interesting images — the better to make something truly meaningful to you.
