About this Event
The Greater Toronto Art 24 Triennial exhibition, which opened last month at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), demonstrates how historical and ongoing migratory movements have shaped the city’s cultural and artistic landscape. The show includes the work of 25 artists whose roots/routes span from Palestine to Port-au-Pince to Port Severn. This “field trip” is an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the exhibition in two separate segments.
