About BeingToronto
Have a look. What do we see? Examine the faces. What do we find?
We are exploring Toronto through its people. When you break down to the individual, to its smallest unit parts, can we find a whole?
As photographers we are fascinated by people – complex, varied, part of a whole and absolutely individual. How do we understand Toronto through its individuals? On its official website The City of Toronto highlights the racial, ethnic and language diversity of the city. But we are also defined by our age, gender, economic status, and a myriad other factors.
This project is an opportunity to explore Toronto and its neighborhoods through its people. By building a studio on the sidewalk in a wide-range of neighborhoods we are allowing chance to create a portrait of this City.
We invite you to join us as we travel around the city over the next few months visiting neighborhoods and creating portraits from the street.
