\n\u00ab\u00a0Time to Make Your Map Toronto<\/strong>
\nIn honour of Canada\u2019s sesquicentennial (#Canada150) and Art Starts\u2019 25th anniversary, Art Starts is collaborating with artists and residents city-wide to craft a restorative and creative 10\u2019 x 20\u2019 map.<\/p>\n

Art Starts<\/strong>, a pioneer in Toronto\u2019s community arts sector, is celebrating 25 years of artistry while contributing to Canada\u2019s 150th anniversary with their city-wide project: Cartography 17<\/strong>. Launching on June 5th, the project will create a map of Toronto with a vision that is restorative, collaborative and inclusive.<\/p>\n

Cartography 17 will use a multifaceted approach to map-making by collaborating with artists, Indigenous storytellers, a cartographer and residents of local communities \u2013 with a focus on underserved areas of Toronto.<\/p>\n

This hands-on form of expression will use a variety of artistic media to create a map that uniquely celebrates the cultures, communities and neighbourhoods that comprise Toronto\u2019s rich history.<\/p>\n

Cartography 17 map animator, Daniel Rotsztain – The Urban Geographer, will create the physical foundation of the map including geography, geology, infrastructure, landmarks across Toronto and First Nations\u2019 histories.<\/p>\n

Cartography 17 envisions a new kind of map-making, one that is a diverse, multimedia collection of stories and experiences from people, places and spaces that are often not represented in our city.<\/p>\n

The collective of artists, along with the map, will tour communities city-wide alongside an Indigenous storyteller to acknowledge and honour the land we reside upon through traditional Indigenous storytelling practices.<\/p>\n

The final map will act as a Toronto legacy \u2013 developed in honour of Canada\u2019s 150th anniversary \u2013 and will be exhibited in spaces such as Toronto City Hall, libraries and galleries across the Greater Toronto Area.<\/p>\n
