Ich Bin Ein Torontonian

Goethe-Institut Toronto

Goethe-Institut Toronto and Shawn Micallef bring you on a walk through the city's public spaces around access, use, and equality.

This c. 1.5 hour walk &amp; talk will meander through public and semi-public spaces of the lower downtown core and along the waterfront to look at the residential &amp; commercial transformation not unlike that on Berlin’s Potsdamer Platz, discussing rent and affordability, human vs. property rights, and where and how we invest public money, while reflecting on Toronto and Berlin variations of city building, city life, public art, and urban memory.Shawn Micallef is the author of Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto, Full Frontal TO, and The Trouble With Brunch: Work, Class and the Pursuit of Leisure. He is a columnist at the Toronto Star, senior editor and co-owner of Spacing and teaches at the University of Toronto. His most recent book, Frontier City: Toronto on the Verge of Greatness, was published in 2017 and he is currently working on a book about tourism. He realized a downtown Toronto walk for the Goethe-Institut Toronto in 2019 around #Bauhaus100.Free registration with limited space available.
