Our Story

The Tkaronto CIRCLE Lab was created in 2017, by founding director Eve Tuck, with funding from the Canada Fund for Innovation John R. Evans Leadership Fund. When it is at full capacity, our lab includes students, faculty, staff, and community researchers. The physical space of our lab is located at OISE, and includes rooms dedicated to arts- and materials-based research, participatory research with youth and communities, visual and audio research, and community gatherings. Our lab commitments are to social change, supportive openness, and collaboration and collaborative writing. We are trying to grow our lab with intention and in good relation to each other, to communities in the city of Tkaronto, and with lands and waters.
