2025 Venice Biennale of Architecture Shortlist - CANADIAN Pavilion

 

Conceptual drawing of the sonic landscapes

The Mixtape Collective is a crew of cultural instigators who are “leading the global discourse in architecture and urbanism as it intersects with and conveys the complexities of multi-disciplined artistic expression.” The team is made up of architects, urban planners, artists and cultural curators who are passionate about exploring the intricacies of art, culture and the built environment.

This project challenges the politics and policies of sound shaping our cities while learning from the sonic landscapes of Indigenous and marginalized communities as they offer alternative pathways to designing shared spaces of belonging, resistance and joy.
