Street Art with Barri Biederman
Wed Jan 11 2017
12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Toronto Kiwianis Boys and Girls Club in Regent Park
Street artist Barri Biederman (aka “Boo) was selected by the youth of the Toronto Kiwanis Boys and Girls Club, Spruce Clubhouse, to show them how to “take their stories to the streets.” From 11 January to 3 May 2017, Biederman shared her skills in mural design and street art in her workshop series, Our Streets, Our Style. Inspired by both Jonathas de Andrade and Maria Hupfield, youth expressed their cultural history--lived or imagined--and hopes for the future of their communities through stickers, graffiti, and other public art.
