reLOCATION exhibition at Daniels Spectrum
Welcome to the exhibition, showcasing products from a participatory design collaboration between OCAD University second-year industrial design students and the Sewing Studio from the Toronto Centre for Community Learning and Development (CCL&D). A design class was held offsite in Regent Park as a way to have a truly immersive experiential learning opportunity for students. They were able to work with women from the Sewing Studio to produce bespoke textile goods to be sold at Centre of Opportunities for Regent Park Enterprises (CORE) as part of their livelihood.

Daniels Spectrum, 585 Dundas Street East, Toronto, ON M5A 2B7
The Sewing Studio is a social enterprise incubation program within CCL&D, consisting of immigrant women from Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Iran. This social start-up is now seeking funding for a fully equipped space that will be able to meet their growing demands and enable them to scale-up their impact. The CORE will be a new placefor the Sewing Studio to grow with a professional sewing centre. This opportunity is made possible thanks to The Daniels Corporation. Funds from this event will go towards CORE plans to open in early 2021 in Daniels’ new DuEast condo in Regent Park.
