BELONGING

Feb17-March 5, 2023

 

Belonging is a term of

affinity, association and kinship.

The Chinese have experienced challenges in Canada since the 1850's, the Exclusion Act barring anyone of Chinese origin unable to enter Canada 1923-1947 and present day covid with Asian racism.

As a Chinese Canadian I want to explore and examine our unique voices of belonging.

Where is the place we call home and how it connects us to where we will be in the future?

WE LOVE THE TORONTO OUTDOOR ART FAIR

"As a native Torontonian and former gallerist, I can say that the TOAF is the real deal for anyone serious about buying or selling art in Toronto. Toronto is an international meeting place and TOAF allows artists  to meet a wide interested public, get instant feedback and connect. Artists work in isolation so the opportunity to meet the public is an essential part of our artistic process.

Amazing Moss Park artists feel acknowledged and supported as “artists”by being included in the largest outdoor art fair in Canada. We thank you for your support!"

“As an artist who has exhibited and grew up in New York City, I can tell you that the TOAF is by far the most exciting art event in Canada. If you love art, don’t miss it.”

"Even though Covid 19 changed the way people would visit the Toronto Outdoor ArtFair in 2021, it didn’t stop the show from going forward. Taking part as an artist with the Amazing Moss Park Art Collective for TOAF’s 60th year was an honour."

    ART MURAL LAUNCH SEPT 12, 2021 Connecting art & communities

      MURAL ARTISTS

      BLANK WALLS MURALS

      BLANK WALLS MURALS

       

      Our lead in the BLANK WALLS mural project, Giselle Silvestri states; “ The At Home with Covid” mural is about Covid and how our homes took on a whole new meaning during 2020 and 2021. For some it became a prison for others a refuge. In some homes there was death and in other homes there was new life. For some, Covid destroyed their livelihood and they became homeless adding to the already homeless population. Tent cities sprung up all across our city, and for some these tents are the only homes they have. The mural reflects the hopefulness I have been feeling, slowly seeing life return to normal”. Giselle’s work will be added with by images from Carol Mark, Michael Jenkins, Colour Blots by Angela, Farzana Aziz, Michael Sillers, Maziar Mohajer, and Rachelle Soloway.


      Ongoing & future projects to be directed to co-ordinator Carol  amazingmosspark@gmail.com

      Dan Philip’s mural, on the other hand, comes to grips with the history of the surrounding neighbourhood, The Moss Park area, how it got here, why it looks the way it does and who were the people who made it happen. Dan’s poster depicts T.J. Wilkie, builder of an historically designated block on Queen East, and the Allan family, G.W. and William Allan, who gifted what is now Moss Park to the City. 

      Carol Mark, the art collective’s founder says, “After all the grey and harrowing months we’ve had, art really can help us take back the warmth, colour and richness of our lives in our neighbourhood—and in neighbourhoods all over the city.”

      BLANK WALLS MURALS

       

      Together, the two large murals will occupy a brick wall facing Britain Street, a storied name in the history of Toronto, the space generously donated by a neighbour, who is a property owner in the area. 

      Don’t miss the unveiling of these two striking art pieces so much a part of our recent and past history in Toronto!




      Carol Mark:

      "As a Chinese Canadian, I came face to face with anti Asian hate for the first time in my life. That’s why I added the hashtag #StopAsianHate to my art. The inequalities my grandfather faced during the time of The Exclusion Act 1923 where no Asians were allowed in Canada, separating families for decades were reminders of past injustices. The “nice polite facade” of Canadians seemed just that to me. And I believe now that we as Canadians need to try harder if we value a multicultural society that is inclusive."

       

      Michael Jenkins: "Home was a very crowded place of confinement, jail-like but silent and empty.”

       

      Michael Sillers: “Home isn't just where we lay our head. Home is everywhere.”

       

      Farzana Aziz: "Blissful Discovery of Self. While the world we knew tilted in front of us, my home is where I discovered the artist self within me and my blessings that outshone in the midst of all uncertainties.”
