University of Toronto x Regent Park Focus: A Collaborative Media and Research Initiative
Who We Are
Initiated in 2019, this is a collaborative project between Urban Studies students at the University of Toronto and the FOCUS Media Arts Centre at Regent Park. Together, we create media projects about Regent Park, its history and ongoing redevelopment, and the lived experiences of its residents.
Our Mission
We believe that bringing together university students and Regent Park residents creates a unique environment for learning about our social world. Often in universities, entrenched social norms and established institutional structures silence different types of knowledge. We aim to shake that paradigm.
