Wandering in Vancouver’s ‘non-backbones’ (for example, streets one block off a busy arterial, underused parks, or ‘slower than what google suggested’ routes). Intrigued by these spaces’ potential to initiate actions/performance by visitors that constantly tell and record stories, he captures his own performance in the form of photos, films and small chunks of text. Mingjia currently works as a junior landscape designer at Hapa Collaborative. Andrey Chernykh is a landscape architect and urbanist based in Toronto. His creative work explores research, visual representation, placemaking, writing and design thinking as tools that aim to strengthen connections between us and landscapes we inhabit. andrey-chernykh.squarespace.com Diana Guo is a student designer interested in creating sensory atmospheres through storytelling and poetry and believes in the soft power that stories can bring.
