Waiting Room: Zines from a City Submerged in Time In light of current events, CAMH’s Teen Council welcomes teen artists to creatively express feelings of time standing still in a collection which provides an escape from reality. We are proud to showcase teen artists during these uncertain times and would like to thank Sanjuana Banda, CAMH Graphic Designer, for your guidance and support. About Teen Council Composed of 14 young arts enthusiasts, Teen Council serves as the Museum’s vehicle for attracting the city’s teen population to CAMH and exposing them to the vibrant field of contemporary art. For council members, the group serves as a highly collaborative creative incubator that opens up opportunities for leadership, visual literacy, and life skill development.
