SUMMARY:Queerborough Speaker Series: Collage Party with Anto Chan
DESCRIPTION:\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nEvent Description\n\nIn this hands-on session\, 
 participants will explore collective memory\, identity\, and community thr
 ough collage-making. Led by spoken word artist and writer Anto Chan\, this
  session invites participants to reflect on their personal and collective 
 visions of queer Scarborough. Drawing from books\, magazines\, and persona
 l reflection\, we’ll piece together stories of belonging\, joy\, resista
 nce\, and possibility.\n\nThis workshop encourages participants to engage 
 with themes such as place\, queerness\, healing\, and the imaginative labo
 ur of dreaming future/utopic worlds. No artistic experience is necessary -
  just an openness to create\, and share space with others.\n\n*All materia
 ls (books\, magazines\, glue\, etc.) will be provided. Participants are en
 couraged to bring personal items or materials for collage if they wish.\n\

 ce artist\, facilitator\, mentor\, producer and writer. He performed his o

 tional” in February 2025. He founded the Canada Council for the Arts fun
 ded project “InnerGenerational”\, building a community that fosters a 
 safe environment for Asian artists to evolve in their crafts without fear

 ices Expressive Art Therapy\, as his life work is centred on holding space
  for expansion\, intersectionality\, and self-love through the page\, stag
 e and community. He builds meaningful projects aiming to create and suppor
 t art that speaks to the journey of soul healing\, self-discovery and heal
 ing intergenerational trauma.
