Opening Reception and Artist Talk for Katrin Faridani—Interconnected: From the Tap to the Lake and Back

Join us for a reception and artist talk to celebrate the opening of Katrin Faridani’s new exhibition, Interconnected: From the Tap to the Lake and Back, in the IMC Student Gallery. The artist will be in conversation with Blake Fitzpatrick, Professor in Image Arts at Toronto Metropolitan University.

About the Exhibition

Interconnected is a visual exploration of the Toronto wastewater system, its connection to our drinking water and to Lake Ontario. It examines the consequences of urbanization and solutions for mitigating its negative effects for better water management in the Greater Toronto Area. Through a representational approach, Katrin Fardani focuses on the path of water from her home to Lake Ontario, documenting parts of the Don River watershed, the Ashbridge’s Bay treatment plant and ultimately the Island and R. C. Harris water treatment plants, which process our drinking water from Lake Ontario and send it to our taps, thus illustrating the full cycle of water to and from the artist’s home.
