From the seeds to a full grown cypress tree over the course of the evening. A meditative participatory act to observe, follow and support. An abstracted weaving informed by traditional Persian rugs and imagery.

We are thrilled to invite you to the launch of our new book ‘Supergraphic Landscapes: From Public Art to Urban Design on Thursday,’ on Oct 8th at 5:30pm at Starling by Duo (@starlingbyduo, @drinkmondaycoffee). Can’t make it to the launch? Link in bio to purchase!

Supergraphic Landscapes is a book about the future of public spaces—and how reimagining graphics in the built environment can unlock new modes of civic participation. What if the city could remember, care, and play back? Supergraphic Landscapes reimagines how public art and graphics in the built environment can transform public space into places of connection, care, and collective memory. Through essays, speculative drawings, flash fiction, and collaborations with guest contributors, the book reveals how a painted pattern, a textured path, or a layered graphic can disrupt routines, nurture intimacy, and hold shared histories in place.

The book launch will feature live readings, conversation with the coauthors moderated by Jonathan Kelley (@jonathanmkelley), the world premiere of an animated short film based on the book (@kuh.lida), and a book signing (w/ @openbookschicago ).

Thanks to @ashley.diana.culver at @cbc for the article about This May Be A Huge Mistake. I appreciate all the artists reaching out and all the kind words about the film. It’s truly been a labour of love.

The Canadian premiere is tomorrow Sept 17th at @paradiseonbloor at 8pm as part of the Toronto Independent Film Festival.

Meet The Pink House.

Named one of Azure Magazine’s Top 10 Interior Design Projects of 2024.

A late-1800s row house in Little Portugal completely reimagined by Toronto architecture studio SHEEEP.

Inside, oversized windows and skylights bring natural light deep into the home, while warm oak, custom millwork and bold colour give every space its own personality.

And downstairs? A sauna + cold plunge. 😮‍💨

Even the exterior has a story. The pink facade was inspired by the movie poster for Bonjour Tristesse.

Follow @velosarealestate for more Toronto homes worth seeing.

Poetry Night 013 - the Music of Things
Thursday September 24
6:30-9pm @baaa______baaa
Eventbrite link in bio☀️

.
I got reminded of a famous phrase in a famous book on the first scene at the opening it goes like: “in the beginning there was word”
Apparently word seems to have lost some of its meaning in translation- as happens always- and apparently it is a translation from the term “logos” in Greek.
Logos contains much more than just word. It looks to me like the possibility of being, a movement, and a synchronization.
So why not say in the beginning there was music?
Is not everything a music?
And at what point do words begin to grab on it?
And what is an original move-ment?
—-
And this is yet another pretty random observation on how to situate the necessity of music.
And yet falling in the true cliche that music keeps us alive.
—-
You come share your thoughts on this,
Poetry Night 13 is about “the music of things”

Poetry Night has become possible through

Things i made in August part 2 —

• my yearly fruit nail tradition but they get more intricate and realistic. The amount of work that passion fruit (second pic) one took… I also had the bright idea of doing exterior v. cross section because why not

• and the pomegranates - for the nails, I broke out the watercolours from their jail (one of my closets in a dusty box, I’m very unethical to my prisoners [crafts i got into and forgot], exactly like a prison d’ailleurs 👀) for some sets I did prior and it took half the time it would have otherwise taken to do them

• if I knew half the things I know now when I was in uni, I would have been unstoppable, I just need to get the sheep to sheeep.. one of these day.. soon ish

Some concept drawings of a recently completed interior design-build of a multi-functional basement fit out for a young family of 3 that will serve as: a guest room, a meditation room, a workspace, a living room for film screenings, with plenty of storage along with some custom designed furniture and of course an under-stair kitty cat private bathroom! 🐈‍⬛💗🐑

As part of our ongoing commitment to exploring how we can weave anti-colonial practices of resistance and relationality in our work, in June 2026, TCLT’s Hak Hei Program and Anti-Colonial Committee partnered with Dr. Rana Abughannam� for Reflections on COUNTER[ing]: Learning with Palestine, a knowledge exchange and celebration of her recent publication, Timely Reflections on Spatial Justice.

The 2 day workshop explored the concept of ‘countering’ in Dr. Abughannam's research and how this can inform and shape our responses to settler colonialism and extractive capitalism in the way we think about the projects and worlds we build.

Visit the link in our bio to download Timely Reflections on Spatial Justice, featuring a chapter written by @joe_banh, TCLT’s program manager for the Hak Hei program!

Thank you so much to the @yellowheadinstitute, especially everyone in the Misko Aki Knowledge Exchange (MAKE), Balanced Supply of Housing Research Network, and Professor @lindayzhang, who all generously supported this event. As well, a special thank you to Dr. @rabughannam for sharing her research and the launch of her new publication!
