Winnie Truong

Interchanges, by Winnie Truong, takes inspiration from the postal network that keep us connected while we’re apart, and reveals the paralleled complexity in seed dispersion among local urban flora. By making a connection between planting and mail distribution this work reveals how these overlooked systems are essential to meaningful connections to nature and each other.

In Alvin Luong’s Life Preserver, a leisurely walk along the water leads to the discovery of a bundle of food that has been washed ashore. The bundle appears purposeful in its assembly, yet its function is unknown. The artwork is inspired by the essentials of food, shelter, and mobility; and the pursuit of these essentials by people across geographies, histories, and nations.

Mural depicting six portraits of women of colour.
Memory Work  

On display May 1, 2022 onwards

Situated at the western entrance to The Bentway, Memory Work is a mural made up of twelve embellished photographic portraits of revolutionary women and non-binary figures from a future Toronto. Initiated by studio From Later with artist Rajni Perera and Memory Work Collective, this speculative monument imagines a city characterized by collective care and politics that value nurturing over growth.
