How has the city shaped us as individuals? It has shown us what it means to be apart of a community. It has made us aware of many realities and hardships. And it has given us a voice to advocate for ourselves and the things we believe in.

The George Brown College Class of ‘24 convocation mural was designed to accompany GBC’s recent “City is our classroom” advertising campaign. It combines typographic messaging with familiar landmarks across the school’s three campuses.

On deciding on the theme “Flower Pot”:  I wanted the name to be a play on the term “Melting Pot” but instead of promoting togetherness through homogeneity, I wanted it to be through diversity, a “flower pot” if you will.

“Innervzm II, a companion to 2022’s Innervzm, is a sprawling, meditative collection from Los Angeles-based producer, drummer, and sound architect, Raays. The EP’s title derives from a conversation between Raays and Leaving labelmate Deantoni Parks regarding “archeology of self” as a creative methodology. Innervzm, as a concept, connotes the kind of soul work that necessarily precedes and renders outward action possible, meaningful, and effective. ”

SPACE was originally founded as a place where beginner dancers and non-dancers could experiement and discover freestyle dance in a safe and welcoming environment. Originally taking place in College Park, Toronto, the mark is constructed of fragmented pieces of the College Park’s geographical map, symbolizing the deconstruction of barriers that often ostricize and allienate people who are new to freestyle dance.
