Carving out space: Co-creating session on artists and community Activity
The Creato leadership team will host a space of conversation and collective creativity where participants will reimagine the future of our creative communities in Toronto happening at LAMAS (Latin American Media Arts Symposium). The need for more meaningful creative collaboration spaces and community-building opportunities –where people can gather, learn from one another, and develop systems of mutual care and professional growth – is evident, and we need to enable open inclusive and safe spaces where diverse perspectives can participate, discuss and create collectively. The team behind Creato will facilitate this collaborative experience while sharing their story and reflecting on their journey as an independent, volunteer-led organization engaging with Latin American creative communities –particularly youth, emerging and newcomer artists– since 2020.
When: Wed Oct 4, 2023 - 5:30 PM 6:30 PM
Location: Friends House, 60 Lowther Ave, Toronto. Meeting Room.
The activity will run for approximately 90 minutes.
This event is free and open to the public. Please register in advance.

About LAMAS: From October 4 to 7, join us for the first edition of the Latin American Media Arts Symposium (LAMAS) in Toronto.
Over the course of 4 days, we will gather with a group of curious and thoughtful artists, filmmakers, critics, and academics engaging with Latin American artistic production in Canada. We will be having panel discussions, round tables, performances, and special collaborations with local arts organizations. Some of the questions we will be tackling are: how are spaces and institutions supporting the visibility of Latin American media arts and film in Canada? What challenges and opportunities arise from translations and mistranslations? How are identities and bodies transformed as a new notion of home is built? How can we move forward through local and transnational collaboration?
All panels will be open to the public, and entrance will be free!
