EAST Zines
EAST is a collaborative program for Scarborough youth who work under the guidance of professional artists, project managers, local social service providers, youth outreach workers, and peer mentors.
EAST Zines was facilitated by emerging queer Haitian-American Toronto-based painter Jega Delisca, alongside musician and poet Sky Ravinn Ffrench, and queer sexual health educator Kyana Graham.
This program was for 2SLGBTQ+ visual artists (all levels of experience) aged 15 - 27 who reside in Scarborough. Participants received art supplies and workshops from professional artists in various mediums. Participants also received 2SLGBTQ+ specific sexual health + wellness workshops.
Scarborough Arts’ EAST H.E.A.R.T (Health, Education, Art, Resilience, Together) Programs are made possible thanks to the support of the City of Toronto, Toronto Urban Health Fund, Ontario Art Council, and Delta Bingo Gaming.
