University of Toronto Art Centre
15 King’s College Circle
Please join student curator Sophie Dubeau Chicoine for an exploration of the themes and artworks featured in her exhibition In the Interstices of Our Palms.
In the Interstices of Our Palms explores ways to build, hold, and share community in times of disruption. Navigating the personal and collective challenges of communal efforts, three artists mobilize processes of (re)assembly. They create space for hope, insisting on the possibilities of healing and renewal while simultaneously reckoning with ongoing grievances. Featuring work by Rihab Essayh, Anouk Verviers, and Tanya Lukin Linklater, the exhibition puts forward reflective modes of collectivity fostered by sustained, careful gestures.
This event is free and all are welcome. No registration required.
