Metcalf Fellow Kuni Kamizaki’s two-part report draws on more than a decade of his involvement with the Parkdale Neighbourhood Land Trust to tell the story of its origins and evolution, and to explore the broader transformative potential of the community land trust model.

Driven by a sense of urgency and optimism, Art and the World After This makes the case for grounding the arts firmly in action as a powerful force for creating a better world. The report explores four distinct but interrelated disruptions which have shaken our world — the disruption of activity (pandemic), society (social unrest), industry (digital revolution), and the world (climate crisis) — as well as the unique value art brings to society. In this timely report, David Maggs explores how the arts can serve a more applied and accountable role in society as a catalyst for meeting the profound challenges we face.
