Make Change assembles diverse creators who are excited about using their practice to facilitate social change. We serve a network of makers, developers, entrepreneurs, artists, crafters, educators, and technologists working for a better world.
We explore the intersections of creating and social change in a full day of programming at Toronto Media Arts Centre, at 32 Lisgar st.
