This project seeks to uncover Toronto&#8217;s<br \/>\nforgotten histories and question the city&#8217;s dominant narratives. The photographs will show<br \/>\nToronto&#8217;s monuments, buildings, streets, and parks with texts and images that show colonial and<br \/>\nindigenous influences and the communities&#8217; struggles and successes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Materials: Digital camera and editing software&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Process: The artwork will begin with city study and community input to ensure accuracy. CN<br \/>\nTower, Queen&#8217;s Park, Distillery District, and High Park are among Toronto locations for photos.<br \/>\nHistory, current slogans, and indigenous languages will be used to choose texts and images.<br \/>\nWritings and images will be placed over photos using editing software to establish a dialogue<br \/>\nbetween visible and hidden, past and present, and colonizer and colonized.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Reasoning: \u201cToronto Unmasked\u201d challenges the prevailing narratives and representations of the<br \/>\ncity and highlights the hidden and erased history of the land and its people. Through the project,<br \/>\nphotography as a medium, aims to show the city and its people&#8217;s complexity and diversity and to<br \/>\nilluminate the interconnectedness of land, identity, and social justice in the urban context.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Bibliography:<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: inherit; background-color: var(--color-6); font-size: 12pt; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-family: Poppins, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; cursor: auto;\">1.
