Presence Mississauga

Presence Mississauga, a curated short film by Hibah Mian, is a glance at a lens that shows nothing short of being present and finding a presence in each footstep of life. Mississauga is home to unexplored stories and untapped conversations of creativity. The short film premiered at the Mississauga Celebration Square Screens in August 2021.
Presence Mississauga was curated by Hibah Mian, Amrita Virdi, Amanda Foulds, Eldiana Begovic. Presence was a year-long program funded by the City of Mississauga. Throughout the program, residents were invited to participate in workshops, exhibitions, and performances, to explore storytelling and uncover the city’s cultural identities. The final project was a living repository of contributed Mississauga stories. The project aimed to use the city's cultural spaces to amplify young BIPOC creatives to share and collect cultural samples.
