The Love Invasion began as a Toronto-based grassroots initiative, featuring the deployment of 100 hand-cast concrete Lovebot sculptures. Acting as a unique and meaningful social objects placed in the paths of pedestrians, each Lovebot sculpture was dedicated to a person or group that performed a powerful act of kindness in their community. The purpose: to illuminate the kindness and compassion in our city and, inspire more. Following years of dedication from Lovebot creator Matthew Del Degan along side his strong team of volunteers and the ever-growing Lovebot community, Lovebot’s movement continues to gain outstanding momentum. Lovebot stickers and posters are now displayed in locations around the world, made possible by Lovebot’s devoted and active leaders wishing to spread kindness. In addition, due to the recent success of the D.I.Y Lovebot crowd-funding campaign, the first ever Lovebot toy is soon to be released as a platform that Lovebot fans can customize and share with the intention to foster creativity and kindness in all of us. By placing something meaningful and unique in people’s paths, Lovebot creates an impactful and uplifting experience. With constant social initiatives and methods for others to join the Love Invasion movement, Lovebot continues to inspire others to love more and get involved in making this world a better place.

Giovanni Zamora is a Chilean painter and muralist born in Viña del Mar in 1990. His primary mediums are oil and dry pastel and he specializes in portraiture.

Zamora demonstrated artistic skill and interest from a young age, but it was not until he had completed his university studies that he decided to develop a career as a visual artist. While he often works in a realistic style, his murals works also sometimes incorporate powerfully abstracted elements. He led student protests in Chile from 2011 to 2013, and his political concerns are often present in his work.

Clandestinos is the Toronto-based husband-and-wife-team Shalak Attack (Elisa Monreal) and Bruno Smoky (Bruno Revitte).

Smoky got his start as a graffiti artist in 2004, painting walls in the Brasilândia district of São Paulo.
