*Cara Eastcott* @caraeastcott
Cara Eastcott is a freelance cultural producer based in Toronto, who has been shaping multi-disciplinary arts spaces for the last 15 years. She has done extensive work in creating accessible practices for Deaf and disability arts to thrive. Her ultimate goal is to produce work that highlights storytellers who help communities gain a deeper understanding of place and public history.
*Eroca Nicols* @therealerocanicols
Eroca Nicols is currently known as a dancer/choreographer/teacher/spiritual support guy, but their multiplicitous practice stems from their family of semi-mystical nomadic trailer people, years working as a janitor, and a BFA in video/performance art and sculpture from California College of the Arts (formerly and Crafts.) The teaching, dancing, and training they do are deeply influenced by ongoing study of ritual, biomechanics, community care/disruption, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
*Asad Raza* @ibn_kulumakan
Asad Raza has worked closely with artists on over 100 commissioned projects. He has over a dozen years of experience managing large-scale public art works, programming & producing artist commissions with Nuit Blanche Toronto, directing the experimental community festival ‘Art of the Danforth’ and managing site-specific exhibitions across the GTA. He serves on the board of a number of institutions and civic spaces and has been extensively involved with many of the City of Toronto’s public art initiatives.
We hope you have enjoyed being introduced to our 2022 Artistic Advisory, they have been a pivotal part of the curatorial process, providing invaluable feedback.
Much love to @ibn_kulumakan, @caraeastcott , @lookieleu ,@therealerocanicols, @sandraamarie , @ralphescamillan , and Yvette Nolan, our 2022 Artistic Advisory. We appreciate you!
