Toronto’s Heritage Streetscapes: Can They Be Saved? / A roundtable discussion
May 11, 2013, 2:30 p.m.
Twist Gallery
1100 Queen St. W.
A roundtable discussion on May 11, 2:30 p.m. presented in the gallery with Margie Zeidler (architect, President of Urbanspace Property Group), Deanne Taylor (playwright, co-Founder of VideoCabaret) and Adam Vaughan (Toronto City Councilor, Trinity-Spadina).
The roundtable discussion is part of the exhibition titled EARLY SUNDAY MORNING / New urban Photographs by DAVID KAUFMAN. The images draw attention to commercial structures in older, once less affluent parts of the city near the downtown core that are threatened by gentrification and the condo building boom. The exhibition is a photographic “cri de coeur” for what remains of Toronto’s unheralded early buildings and a celebration of a century-old era in the city’s architecture. (Part of the Scotiabank Contact Photography Festival.)
The show is open May 1 – 26, 2013. Hours: Wed – Sun 11 – 6 p.m.
