The Public

William and I have worked so hard on this section, and @ThePublic have been incredibly instrumental in realizing our dreams. I can't wait for you all to see the full Experimental Issue we'll be launching next month, but holy cats, what a way to begin!!

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT!: The Puritan is now "The Ex-Puritan," with a newly designed accessibility-focused website c/o @thepublic, including the debut of our Hybrid/Experimental Section with a stunning new sound story by @hushharbour! ex-puritan.ca

@unionswag Woah—this is our first time seeing this—it’s so similar to our logo, and same colours, too 🧐

This looks like logo theft to me @thepublic

While @Sflecce is ranting about salaries: @fordnation gave 88% of his caucus a 16.6k/year raise. Gave his MPP's a housing allowance of $2300/month. Gave his nephew a high profile 165k/year job. Gave people on #ODSP a raise of $1.92 day. A max of $1227/month, legislating poverty

Looking forward to this years @MayworksToronto Festival! The program is now live at: mayworks.ca/2022-festival-… There will be exhibitions, installations, film screenings, music, artist talks, community discussions, a book launch and other activities taking place across Toronto.

Par Nair's exhibit "dear amma" uses personal and diasporic objects such as stamps that are nomadic in nature are made and cut by hand to further the notions of migration, global exchange and portability. 💌 This is the last week to check it out at Seaforth Ave. & Lansdowne Ave.!

"I wanted to touch my mother’s sarees that once draped her body, repeatedly with a needle, and thread my stories with her’s." --Par Nair on her exhibit "dear amma" on display now. This is the last week you can catch it, at the corner of Seaforth Ave. and Lansdowne Ave.! 🧵

Par Nair's exhibit "dear amma" recognizes and problematizes the effects of assimilation and loss of culture within a migrant experience, centering the body as a fragmented and hybrid archive of dualities. Check it out in our window gallery at Seaforth Ave. and Lansdowne Ave. 🍃

Through an intimate display of personal objects and poetry, Par Nair's exhibit "dear amma", now on display, speaks to the effects of assimilation and loss of culture within a migrant experience, centering the body as a fragmented and hybrid archive of dualities.

Our latest exhibit is here ✨👀 we're so happy to be showing Par Nair’s installation "dear amma" which explores themes of yearning, longing, loss, and melancholia felt by diaspora. Read about it here: thepublicstudio.ca/gallery/dear-a…
