206 Carlton(Video, 14min, Colour)

Using archival materials, 206 Carlton is a short experimental compilation-based documentary film that brings together a story of racism and resistance in the city of Toronto, through focusing on one address, one house.

At the center of this story is Ernst Zundel, a former resident of 206 Carlton Street, and internationally infamous Holocaust denier. From this downtown Victorian townhouse he spread hate materials that found their way to the hands of hateful groups around the world.

Zines:

My introduction to zines was through the online mail-art community xpostcardx when I was in high school in the early 2000s.

The first zines I made were collections of my analog photography, but they weren’t shared beyond the mail-art community. I was disconnected from zine culture until 2017, when my MFA research, along with my friend, took me to the Toronto Zine Library - which completely absorbed me.

I have been volunteering at the library ever since, and have been an active member of the zine community as a librarian, creator, researcher, collector, distro manager, and all-around zine lover.
