In this workshop, Tong Zhou Lafrance opens up their photo-weaving process by inviting us to address themes central to their research, such as transnational adoption, immigration and travel. Taking the form of a workshop-discussion introducing the basics of photo weaving, Tong Zhou seeks to create new discussions and connections between different social issues. This activity is designed so that each participant can leave with a small 4″ x 6″ weaving of a photo that they will have brought on the day of the workshop.

In 2021, they obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction at Concordia University.
