Here & Now

Here & Now is a public art project created by Cathleen Calica and Marie Sotto in collaboration with Ukai Projects funded by the Toronto Arts Council. This project was created as a response to the rapid gentrification and redevelopment we not only witness, but experience first hand as artists who live and work in the Market.
