The Luminato art festival has a “hub” in downtown Toronto’s David Pecaut Square. In addition to a big stage, the square is furnished with cardboard lounge chairs under cardboard umbrellas. Big, sculptural cardboard breakwaters add ambience and its quite a pleasant space to hang out in.
The pictures at the end of the slideshow are just updaters from the rest of my walk.

On stage, Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq was doing some sound checks. I,ve never heard such a haunting sound before, especially live and by a solo singer. Amazing and stirring. My poor iPad movie isn’t much of a recording device, but you can hear that she sounds like at least two people, singing, chanting, growling. Backed up with drums and violins, her sound is most original and wonderful.
