I love a good conversation, in public, between artists and writers and scholars and critics.
Moderator (2025), “In Conversation with Agnes Callard: Open Socrates,” The Salon Series, Toronto Public Library.
I was invited to interview philosopher Agnes Callard about her recent book, Open Socrates. Video available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77OBhZ6oyQQ
Producer and Moderator (2025), “The Spinner, The Dealer, The Assassin,” Public talk with artists Heather Goodchild and Margaux Smith, Clint Roenisch Gallery, Toronto, Ontario.
With the artists, I designed and moderated a public interdisciplinary conversation about mythology, creating (and creative) publics, dreamworlds and theatricality in contemporary visual art.
Producer and Facilitator (2024), “Perfumes of the Ancient World,” Workshop, Toronto Public Library.
I was invited to develop and lead a public workshop in which participants recreated ancient Greek and Egyptian perfumes while learning about historical ingredients, trade networks, and cultural significance of scents in antiquity. I designed this event to accompany a public book talk by Bettany Hughes on Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
Producer and Moderator (2026), “In Conversation: Jasmin Bilodeau and Brett Story on Art as Political Criticism” at Clint Roenisch Gallery, Toronto, Ontario.
I designed (with Leila Courey) and moderated an interdisciplinary conversation between artist Jasmin Bilodeau and documentary filmmaker and geographer, Brett Story on how artists translate political, economic and social forces into forms that can be seen, felt and questioned anew.
