Every day, we walk over an ancient pulse buried beneath sidewalks and condominiums—the very lifeblood of the earth. Toronto, like many cities around the world, is built over rivers, creeks, and wetlands. Most of these waterways have been entombed underground and forgotten, only to remind us of their presence when a summer storm floods the streets.

This exhibition is a collaboration between multi-disciplinary designer Amrit Phull and artist Lori Harrison which combines architecture with art installation, text, video, and discussions that invite visitors to engage with Toronto’s hidden waterways, encouraging us to consider rivers as relational beings.

Rivers are our origin stories and the life force behind our settlements, mythologies, and systems of cultivation and exchange.

Opening reception: Saturday, January 24 6-9pm (RSVP required)
