Twenty-five years ago, Charlotte founded Wuthering Bites, a café on the Lakeshore in Mimico that focused on the arts and community. With a diverse background in teaching, research and advocacy, and a passion for writing and visual art, Charlotte is thrilled to now be working with Lakeshore Arts as they launch exciting new initiatives for our South Etobicoke neighbourhood. She is especially thrilled to have a unique opportunity to focus on engagement and programming for seniors.

Creating a Portable Memorial
August 18, 2021 @ 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM
Led by: Camila Salcedo & Cecilia Salcedo
Creating a Portable Memorial will be a sensory workshop through which we engage the five senses to remember family members far away, or no longer with us. We will build our own sensory memory boxes via a series of activities from creating a digital collage to recreating objects with play dough, so that we can return to them whenever we are missing our loved ones.
Material kits will be delivered to participants with all the necessary materials for this workshop, including wooden boxes and sensory objects.
Creating a Portable Memorial is part of the communications quad. This quad raises concerns around the problems in our world to do with the ways we communicate with one another on an individual, community and institutional level, and also how we communicate with ourselves.
While workshops are free and open to anyone in Toronto, space is limited and priority will be given to Etobicoke residents, newcomers, immigrants and refugees and people who experience barriers to accessing arts opportunities. All other applicants will be admitted on a first-come basis. Applicants will be notified about admission and receive a Zoom link by 5 days in advance of scheduled workshop dates. Information collected in applications is private and confidential.
