Coffee Chats is a series of casual gatherings with the CEAD team with industry guests. Hosted in small intimate groups, these gatherings will provide a space for group conversations with practitioners who are interested in supporting OCAD U students and grads to offer mentorship, and share their professional insights and journey, while collectively creating a community.
Wenting Li (she, they) is a muralist, artist and illustrator born in Sichuan, China, and working out of Tkaronto/ Toronto. Wenting’s practice includes large-scale murals, installation work for artist-run spaces including the plumb and Xpace Cultural Centre, and illustration for clients including The New York Times, The City of Toronto, Twitter, and Macmillan.
