“Just Us” art call is a request for mural proposals in support and recognition of Black lives and the rights of Indigenous Peoples. ‘Just Us’ is produced by StreetARToronto (StART) in collaboration with Nia Centre and 7th Generation Image Makers.

The Indigenous-led Design Fellowship is open to Indigenous designers who engage in projects that can be put into conversation with current initiatives at the CCA while also holding relevance to their home communities and/or other communities they have long standing ties to.

StreetARToronto (StART) invites street, mural and graffiti artists or artist collectives to participate in the 2022 Just Us Art Project.
StART has received requests from artists interested in doing more projects in support of Black Lives Matter and justice for Indigenous Peoples. In response, this “Just Us” Art Call is for concepts for mural projects or activations that highlight social injustice, equity, race relations and community engagement. StART is collaborating with NIA Centre for the Arts and 7th Generation Image Makers for the 2022 Just Us Art Project.

StreetARToronto programs and projects are designed to celebrate the City of Toronto motto “Diversity Our Strength” and foster a greater sense of belonging among all. StART welcomes and actively seeks out partners for initiatives that support and reflect these values.

Seneca College is seeking individuals from diverse background to serve as advisors for a new program in development that develops young talent in emerging forms of photography, imaging, and visual content creation.

Background: Over its history, changes to the field of photography have been occurring with each new development in technology. Today, imagery is everywhere, and is a significant part of people’s daily lives. At the same time, every person with a smart phone can be a photographer, video maker, designer, and other content creator. The ease and proliferation of advanced mobile technology, along with continuously sophisticated artificial intelligence tools, enable individuals to produce images which, to many, are of “good enough” quality. While the skills of professional photographers are still in demand, the landscape for these for-hire services have changed. Social media, AR+VR, data visualization, drone, GoPro footage, 360-degree, AI image generation, sensor-based imaging, projection mapping, mobile app production tools, and other emerging technologies take up increasingly more space in the media diet of most creators and audiences.

Seneca’s new program would leverage its experience in photography education towards a wider range of applications and technologies for such practitioners in order to provide the graduate with tools and knowledge that enable increased forms of creative expression and the number of places they find demand
