American artist Dawoud Bey joins Toronto Biennial of Art curator Allison Glenn in conversation in Baillie Court to mark the opening of the new exhibition, Dawoud Bey: Material Histories, Living Landscapes. AGO Curator Julie Crooks will moderate.

Featuring a film and 23 photographs, in dialogue with four African sculptures from the AGO Collection, Bey worked with Curator Allison Glenn to conceive of an installation that furthers the 2026 Toronto Biennial’s thematic exploration of disruption as a generative force.

Opening July 24, 2026, Dawoud Bey: Material Histories, Living Landscapes is presented at the AGO, in partnership with the Toronto Biennial of Art, as part of its 2026 edition, entitled Things Fall Apart.
