paola poletto: I am an artist and arts professional based in Toronto, Canada. I'm interested in multi-voiced narratives about creativity. I am the independent co-producer of art/lit projects including OOL (Office of Life), an imprint I started in 2019, and Director of Engagement & Learning at the Art Gallery of Ontario where I enjoy facilitating opportunities to connect people with art. I am currently pursuing practice-based doctoral research in Media and Design Innovation at Toronto Metropolitan University.
