Monday Mural

 

I'm linking up at Monday Mural


June 2023 - Toronto ON

Founded in 2007 by David Pecaut and Tony Gagliano, Luminato Festiv
al Toronto is an international arts festival dedicated to big, bold contemporary works of art that cut across traditional artistic boundaries of music, dance, theatre, and visual art. Originally created to help Toronto rebuild after the SARS epidemic, Luminato works at the intersection of artists, spectators, and city spaces to produce once-in-a-lifetime experiences that highlight the very best of our city, region, and country. ​


BELONGING
In Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, social belonging is smack in the middle of the pyramid. We do not thrive without an understanding of how we fit in. And yet, social isolation and the sense of otherness pervade our public life. How can we better be a village to one another? How can we better help one another belong?

Through a series of guided engagements with the artwork, you will be invited to explore your sense of belonging in the creation of a new temporary mural at one of the city’s busiest intersections. What does belonging feel like? Smell like? What is a memory you have of feeling like you belonged?

Artist - Bareket Kezwer aka Bkez

  1. This is not just great for feeling good about oneself, it is also a great mural for Pride month, because the LGBTQ+ community has been made to feel excluded for so many reasons, at least here in the states. This is a GREAT mural Jackie!
