Close of up Disassociation by Hanan Hazime. (Paper Collage Please Inquire for Sale). (mus)interpreted runs till 17 November. There will be a small gathering and community day this Sunday on 10 November on the second floor! Image photographed by @jocelynarr . This collage explores lived experiences of mental illness and trauma, manifesting as disassociation. It is a surreal and symbolic depiction of how this disassociation feels as if there is a sudden disembodiment and det...achment from reality, floating in an alternative dimension or some hidden crevice of the mind. Depicted by the mirroring of monochrome and color in the collage, dissociation can be experienced on a spectrum of unpleasant "grey" spaces of trauma-induced dissociation to nonpathological creative and imaginative daydreams. . Hanan @the.mad.muslimah is a Lebanese-Canadian multidisciplinary artist, creative writer, community arts educator, and writing instructor living in Toronto. You can find Hanan’s writing in a number of publications including The Windsor Review, Generation Magazine, and on CBC Arts. Her visual art has appeared in several exhibitions including (mMus)interpreted 2017, and in the Bursting Bubbles exhibit as part of the 2018 Rendezvous with Madness Festival. Hanan is currently writing her first novel thanks to an OAC grant. . #muslimwomen #mentalhealthawareness #torontoart #torontoartists #torontocreatives #regentpark #torontogallery See more

Mariam Magsi @mariam_magsi is a Pakistani-Canadian Multidisciplinary Artist working in Photography, Performance, Video, Installation and other arts. . Title of work: Kabilay ki Baiti (Daughter of the Tribe) . Mariam Magsi turns the lens inward, with this ongoing series of photographs, videos and performances. Magsi examines contemporary Baloch identity through a postcolonial lens, and a reclamation of clothing, cultural practices, ritual, veiling, folklore and spirituality.... The artist belongs to the indigenous Magsi tribe from Balochistan, Pakistan. Historically, and even today, Baloch tribes and clans are highly patriarchal and patrilineal, with low visibility, involvement and inclusion of women in public space. The artist navigates these patriarchal expectations and the burden of centuries old honour codes, carefully balancing and negotiating life as governed by custom, while also attempting to break free from the very barriers that limit her. Large portraits from this ongoing series is currently on view at (mus)interpreted, @tndproject , at the 2nd Floor Hallway Gallery, Oct 10-Nov 16, 2019. . #torontophotographer #musinterpreted #tndproject #femaleartist #torontoart #torontocreatives See more
