THE FARM AND THE CITY AND THE RADIO TORONTO
The Farm and the City and the Radio UK takes part in this year’s Mecklenburgh Square Garden Project, Blue Sky Gardening: An exhibition of garden proposals and propositions. Our audio and video works emerged from collaborations with Toronto urban farmers, artists and a community radio station.
Sound
These podcasts are a conversation between three artists in three areas of Toronto. Aliyah Mvita in the north west, Kachely Peters, steps from the Rouge River in the east, and Krys Verrall between them in the south by the lake.
Deaf performance artist Gaitrie Persaud interprets and transforms one of the sound works into the silence of vertical abstract.
