Join us for an hour with Abrar Mechmechia, a mental health counsellor, for a pertinent conversation around  Shona Illingworth’s exhibition

Mechmechia was a panelist and speaker in the Toronto hearings of the Airspace Tribunal, which was conceived by Nick Grief and Shona Illingworth, and co-presented by The Power Plant and the Master of Visual Studies program at the Daniels Faculty, University of Toronto. The international hearings held in London, Sydney, Toronto and Berlin discussed the effects of climate change, human rights, artificial intelligence, geopolitics, contemporary warfare, biopolitics, psychology and forced migration. The Airspace Tribunal is part of Illingworth’s first solo exhibition in Canada, Topologies of Air, presently on view at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery until 1 May 2022. Mechmechia will offer her insights into Shona&#x27;s work, as a participant of the Toronto hearings and a mental health counsellor for war survivors.
