On Friday, March 28 at 7 PM, Anna Camilleri and Tristan R. Whiston will give a free public lecture on The Art of Collaboration, a presentation illustrated with images and short video clips that offers an overview of RDP’ s process of multi-phase projects and residencies in Toronto communities.
The presentation – which will touch on models for artistic, and community engagement, consensus building, ethics, challenges, facilitation, partnerships, arts-based research, site-specific and public art, and the creative process – will be followed by time for questions and informal discussion.
