Artistry Beyond Borders: Exploring the Power of Public Art in Toronto with Destinie Adélakun

This episode marks the first video episode of the podcast! Here's a sneak peek of my conversation with Destinie Adélakun, an emerging multi-disciplinary artist, who masterfully weaves her Nigerian-Indian heritage into her breathtaking solo exhibition, "Journey of Adé." Destinie also shares the excitement of exhibiting at Toronto's renowned Nuit Blanche, her work bridging mental wellness and public art as part of the Scarborough-based Behind the Art Collective, and the crucial role that public art plays in shaping the identity of our cities. This is just a snippet of our conversation. To watch our full discussion head on over to the new Urban Limitrophe YouTube channel to see all of the art pieces that Destinie refers to in the episode.Guest: Destinie Adélakun, Behind the Art CollectiveAcknowledgements:This episode is co-sponsored by the University of Toronto School of Cities, the Department of Geography and Planning, and GlowReelAbout Urban Limitrophe:Please visit www.urbanlimitrophe.com for all episode show notes and references and guest details. Subscribe to the newsletter: https://shorturl.at/dKQV9Please address any related communication to hello[at]urbanlimitrophe.com
