Erdem Taşdelen (MAA '10) and Allison Collins hold A Conversation About Art and Unrequited Love at the Djavad Mowafaghian World Art Centre, Goldcorp Centre for the Arts on November 14, 2012 at 7pm.

The magazine revolves around unique and authentic travel, and inspired by couchsurfing- an underground phenomenon gone mainstream with the help of online platforms like couchsurfing.org. The goal is to create a visually rich storytelling environment that elevates the status of 'digital magazine.'
