Panel: Shadowboxing (artist Abdi Osman, JORIAL & Christopher Smith)

The ArQuives is thrilled to partner with artist Abdi Osman, Trinity Square Video, Curator Ellyn Walker and the Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies for a FREE public event taking place on Zoom on Sep. 29, 2021, from 6-8pm EST! Panelists Abdi Osman, JORIAL (John Richard Allan), and Christopher Smith will explore histories of queer cruising from local perspectives. Register HERE or by clicking the pink “Purchase Tickets” button on the right side of this window (contrary to the button text, the event is free).

Visit our accompanying news post for more information about Abdi Osman’s public installation projected on the upper windows of The ArQuives’ building at 34 Isabella St in Toronto, which builds on his ongoing research surrounding the gaps between experiences and representations of queer cruising and space- and place-making in the city.
