The East End Expedition Series is a string of ongoing, artist-led projects and research-based expeditions that investigate, navigate and re-contextualize the urban natural spaces in Toronto's east-end.

Largely collaborative and always exploratory, each expedition is meant to encourage new experiences and dialogue within our own east-end geography.

Each expedition will lead into a period of research and creation, and will culminate in a multi-dimensional group presentation and exhibit.

READ THE FULL CALL

BLINDNESS is an awareness campaign, a fundraiser and a celebration of Tibet's rich culture, a culture that continues to persevere despite years of political oppression.
