- Plug In ICA, 460 Portage Ave
Deirdre Logue and Allyson Mitchell will be staying in the MAWA apartment while they lead this year’s Summer Institute at Plug In ICA, developed in partnership with MAWA. As well as being co-founders of FAG (Feminist Art Gallery) in Toronto, they are also independent artists with active national and international careers. Allyson Mitchell is a maximalist artist working in sculpture, performance, installation and film. Her practice melds feminism and pop culture to investigate contemporary ideas about sexuality, autobiography and the body, largely through the use of reclaimed textile and abandoned craft.
Free! Everyone welcome!
