Curation, exhibition design, and installation for PATINAPATINA Mag’s Issue 01 launch exhibit. For a week-long exhibit, we took over Cafeteria at 1650 Dupont, a site with a history tied to some of the city’s oldest cultural enclaves. Welcoming into the space a collection of works from artists of Toronto’s various diaspora, this exhibit brings together past and present in one place, for one moment.

Co-curated with Maham Momin, with support from the PATINAPATINA team (Ishmam Sarker + Asma Ansari).
