The Flux in the City team are back having a conversation with a wonderful guest on subcultures and queer space in Toronto and beyond.
Wesley Reibeling and Nathaniel Hanula-James interview an up-and-coming researcher on his work on DIY spaces.
Travis Van Wyck is a MSc Planning student at the University of Toronto interested in the intersections between planning, community economies, and the practices of do-it-yourself (DIY) scenes and spaces. His research looks at DIY communities in Toronto, Berlin, and Amsterdam to consider potential avenues for establishing equitable artistic, cultural, and nighttime policies without instrumentalizing, displacing, or marginalizing alternative cultures, scenes, and spaces. In this work, Travis looks to DIY spaces as transformative sites with the capacity to produce non-capitalist subjectivities, imagine post-capitalist futures, and cultivate a renewed, socially-focused understanding of creativity.
