Bhat Boy, community activist and founder of "Art in the Park", shares how his strong sense of community translates into his unique style of painting. He will talk about his enjoyment engaging the imagination of spectators and how his inclusion of Nuns and Dragons in his work relates to preconceived ideas about individuals and the darker side of the male psyche.

Bhat Boy, activiste communautaire et fondateur du festival intitulé "arts dans les parcs," expliquera les liens entre son engagement communautaire et son style unique en peinture. Il discutera sa passion envers le public et leur imagination. De plus, il nous présentera des sujets, entre autres, des religieuses et des dragons.
