As a whole, my work explores the cultures and textures of cities, with a focus on memory, sound and social movements. I’m currently based at the Lakeshore Village Artists’ Co-op in New Toronto and work as Communications Director at the Media Arts Network of Ontario. I previously taught at McGill University and the University of Toronto and was a Visiting Scholar at NYU in New York City, where I fell in love with public history and community archives. I’m working on a new version of this website but am keeping this one updated for now. Feel free to get in touch.

The project uses the Omeka CMS and a community-driven archive management process to create digital collections of user-contributed materials. In the project’s pilot phase, we collected over 500 unique artifacts, facilitated eighteen collections and co-curated four exhibits. Alternative Toronto received support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the McLuhan Centre for Culture and Technology, and was the recipient of an&nbsp;ActiveHistory.ca award for exemplary practices of active history. EXHIBITS Curator/cartographer Rocky Dobey’s Street Art: A Counter-MapWith Rocky Dobey and Sofia Lopez2017 This exhibit documented the work of Toronto street artist Rocky Dobey, who has mounted anonymous public installations on the surfaces of the city for the last forty years.

I was a regular contributor to Metroblogging Montreal from 2005–2008 and an active member of Yulblog, the longest continuously running bloggers’ meet-up in North America.

The images I shoot are about noticing and listening, and derive from the experience of being in relationship with a place. I’m drawn to historical continuities and the way they frame how people live in the present. I also quite like buildings, surfaces and cats. <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048"
