From the Bay Area to the Arctic: Shezad Dawood and Alice Xia Zhu

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

Artist Shezad Dawood is joined by researcher Alice Xia Zhu for a conversation that addresses the fate of microplastics in marine and freshwater contexts, from the San Francisco Bay to the Arctic. This programme is organised in dialogue with Shezad Dawood’s exhibition "Leviathan", presented on MOCA’s Floor 4. "Leviathan" is an ambitious “episodic monster” consisting of ten filmic episodes that envisage a future, uncannily much like our present, to consider possible links between borders, mental health, and marine welfare.
