Artist @vivekshraya (she/her)
Vivek is a Toronto-based artist whose work combines music, writing, film and visual arts. She shows us her Toronto. Vivek will be reading a passage from her book, People Change, at our Yorkdale boutique. “People Change is my exploration on reinvention, the idea that we aren’t just one person, or one true self, but that in one lifetime, we often are many selves, and each of them are true and worthy.”
Aritzia Yorkdale Wednesday, June 28 at 11am View the Celebration
