ABOUT THE REGENT PARK COMMUNITY MULTIMEDIA POTLUCK PROJECT:
Participants will be asked to consider the themes of traditions and transformations, arrivals and departures as they pertain to their family stories of origin and/or settlement in Toronto.

Photography educator Diana Nazareth and filmmaker Jordan McTavish will work with the participants to mount a pop-up multimedia exhibit featuring participants’ work. The objective is to provide a unique, interactive community event where stories can be shared and documented, and new connections can be forged and nourished. The completion of this event will be celebrated with a potluck feast.
