Gathering

WHEN:

March 29th 2023 to March 31st 2024
Ended

WHERE:

Toronto

WHAT:

Grounded in community participation, this installation presents over 40 pieces from the Museum’s permanent collection of over 15,000 objects from around the world. Secure your place at the Get Tickets link. There is a one-time donation of $25 or higher.

Gathering explores themes related to migration and diaspora, the search for comfort in the domestic and familial, reclamation of ancestral traditions through contemporary artistic responses, and the relationship between textiles and the environment.

Choices of objects, responses, and retellings were gathered via open online calls for reflection, through partnerships with local organizations, and through artists’ interventions.

The Museum is pleased to showcase new acquisitions in this initial installation, including a 19th century Ainu attush robe from Hokkaido, Japan, and eight beaded works by Vancouver-based, Anishnabekwe artist Bev Koski. Gathering features original digital content created in partnership with the Afghan Women’s Organization, as well as contemporary artworks and digital responses by Par Nair, Jung-Ah Kim, Katy Biele, and others.
