Artist Walk and Talk with Deanna Armenti

About this event

Hear firsthand from the artist about the temporary public artwork, Planter, in High Park. Planter is an eco-sculpture inspired by the amorphous shapes of old growth forest nursery logs. The work is made of ethically sourced wood from urban trees around Toronto at the end of their life cycle. The walk will begin at High Park's Colborne Lodge and walk down to the sculpture. Please note that the ground is uneven and away from the sidewalks or marked trails. Deanna Armenti (Fae/Faer, She/Her) is a Queer, Faegender interdisciplinary artist and researcher. She is a PhD candidate at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) in the Media and Design Innovation program. Deanna’s arts practice is a multimodal exploration of Transfuturist worldbuilding. Inspired by kin centric ecologies and multispecies relations, her work foregrounds multiplicity as an exploration of how gender can align with the ontology of other than human beings.
