Toronto Through My Lens

Month: August 2022 (Page 1 of 2)

Today’s PhotoWalk

It was a beautiful day today, so naturally I went for a photowalk with my trusty camera. I wandered down to the Esplanade then back, capturing the city on a Saturday afternoon. Here’s a few shots from earlier today.

[Note: this is an older blog post from July 2021 which I’ve brought over from my general blog site, Ramblings. I’ve posted it here on TOcityscapes as it’s in keeping with this blog’s topic.]

Kensington Market Street Art

There’s fantastic street art to be found while wandering Kensington Market. I was there recently for one of the Market’s Pedestrian-only Sundays, so I checked out some of the street art. I know there’s still much more to be discovered there, so a second trip is definitely in the works.

“Memory Work” by Memory Work Collective

Situated at the Strachan Gate 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. Memory Work is a monument that commemorates a speculative world. The people depicted in these portraits belong to a group known as the Mothers of Invention, abbreviated as MOI, and pronounced like the sound of a kiss. They are a group of revolutionary scientists, healers, creators, entrepreneurs, engineers, and organizers, represented in photographs taken by Omii Thompson of Mecha Clarke, Jennifer Maramba, Xiyao (Miranda) Shou, Zanette Singh, Cheyenne Sundance, and Dori Tunstall.

Exhibiting May 1, 2022 – April 30, 2023.
