She studied textile design at OCAD University, where she specialized in surface design, wearable electronics, and sculpture. Her award-winning thesis, Chance, was an interactive project featuring belly dance costumes embedded with SOMO (SOund & MOvement) sensors that transformed movement into sound. This work led to collaborations with The Studio for Movement, Ballet Jörgen, and OCAD University’s Social Body Lab to further develop the technology. She later founded SonicWear, offering inclusive SOMO workshops that encouraged creative movement for all ages. In 2017, her focus shifted toward projects exploring forgiveness and healing from shame, using torn and stitched Japanese paper to create abstract tapestries. With support from the Ontario Arts Council, she partnered with St. Joseph’s Health Centre in 2021 to lead an eight-session online art and mindfulness workshop for patients with substance use disorders. She has since facilitated similar workshops with Workman Arts, Lakeshore Arts, and Arts Etobicoke. Faveri's current work delves into family narratives, exploring themes of forgiveness and healing through the careful transcription of letters and the creation of torn and machine-stitched paper portraits. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/lest-we-forget-from-internment-to-compassion/100001622718287079 - **Event Categories**: art, workshops, health-wellness, dance, fine-arts, entertainment, belly-dance, remembrance-day, drawing-painting - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Flest-we-forget-from-internment-to-compassion-tickets-1622718287079 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Joseph D.
