The inaugural Toronto Biennial of Art, will run from September 21 to December 1, 2019, bringing together more than 90 local and international participants, hailing from over 40 places of origin.
Artists will engage the Toronto waterfront’s different ecosystems—environmental, cultural, spiritual, infrastructural, economic—to explore the effects of connection as well as disjunction. For co-curators Candice Hopkins and Tairone Bastien “the Biennial’s central question: ‘What does it mean to be in relation?’, is informed by “the contingencies among people, nature, and economies.”
