The design collection @ STACKT will host 10 days of designer residencies, creative showcases and entertainment.
Featured artists include:
Amrit Phull & Lori Harrison: Every day, we walk over an ancient pulse buried beneath sidewalks and condominiums—the very lifeblood of the earth. Toronto, like many cities around the world, is built over rivers, creeks, and wetlands. Most of these waterways have been entombed underground and forgotten, only to remind us of their presence when a summer storm floods the streets.
Krutika Galgalikar: This participatory gathering invites 20–25 attendees to explore how design can reshape our collective understanding of women’s health and care. Hosted by The Seasons Collective, the half-day workshop blends reflection, dialogue, and co-creation to surface hidden stories and possibilities for care.
Cammie Mulligan: “Flourish” is an immersive sculptural installation that celebrates the growth and transformation of our community, where heritage and innovation entwine. Suspended ornaments, crafted from intricate blends of local architecture and flora, appear to flourish in response to the changing light. These ornaments honor Toronto’s rich cultural heritage, while their fusion with local flowers and cutting-edge technology embodies the spirit of innovation and progress.
Justin Vinet: Lineage is a sculptural lighting collection born from nostalgia and reimagined for contemporary living. Inspired by the rhythmic geometry of old-fashioned drying racks, each piece transforms a functional form into a striking statement.
Sky Ece Ulusoy: Depression is a mixed-material installation first created in 2018, born from an attempt to give shape and form to the intangible weight of an internal struggle. At its core, the piece is simple: a thin cloth, suspended delicately from the ceiling, its movements and form dictated by small pockets of sand weighing it down. Yet within this simplicity lies an uneasy tension. The fabric, both fragile and resilient, becomes a metaphor for the human condition—soft, exposed, and vulnerable, yet enduring the pull of unseen forces.
Mahsa Malek: Traces in Matter is a window and interior exhibition that highlights a series of buildings across Ontario that are vacant, abandoned, or in urgent need of repair. These structures, from industrial warehouses to rural community halls and houses, hold cultural and material value, yet remain overlooked and at risk of demolition. The installation reframes them as sites of possibility for adaptive reuse, preservation, and renewal. From the street, large-scale suspended representations of these buildings will fill the window, visible day and night. Positioned at varying heights, they will appear to “float” in space, revealing traces of weathering, repair, and neglect. This street-facing view invites curiosity and encourages visitors to enter the exhibition space.
