SUMMARY:We Were Never Lost
DESCRIPTION:Developed as part of the 2025-2026 Master of Museum Studies Capstone Projects course at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information\, We Were Never Lost highlights the use of creative practices by queer Black women and women of color as tools for survival and community building in Canada. This exhibition showcases the contributions and legacies of Sister Vision Press\, Fireweed Collective\, and Multicultural Women in Concert/CAMP SIS\, tracking how these movements built on each other and created platforms for those who had been silenced due to racism\, sexism and homophobia. \nFrom the mid 1980s to the early 2000s\, each of these groups created space for the radical self-expressions of queer and racialized women\, including dance\, visual arts\, dub poetry\, oral histories\, incisive political essays\, and more. These artists spoke out on critical issues facing their communities\, like labour\, migration\, and racism. \nThis exhibition will showcase selected publications\, photographs\, ephemera\, and quotes from participants in these movements\, as well as examples of how this deeply political work continues today. \nPlease join us for an opening reception on April 9th from 6-8pm \nOpen times and dates:\nFridays 4pm – 8pm\, Saturdays 11am – 3pm\, Sundays 11am – 3pm.\nOr by appointment – email curatorial@arquives.ca \nThank you to Dr. Afua Cooper\, Anjula Gogia\, Courtnay McFarlane\, Faith Nolan\, Felicity Tayler\, Gabrielle Mandel\, Dr. Meghan Tibbits-Lamirande\, Whitney French\, Dr. Ronald Cummings\, and Dr. Syrus Marcus Ware for your incredible generosity with your time\, knowledge\, and memories. \nThe team wishes to thank Dr. Maggie Hutcheson\, our project mentor\, and Raegan Swanson\, as well as Daniel Payne\, Hannah Dickson\, Jade Nelson\, Patrick Taylor\, Stefanie Martin\, and Syriah Bailey. \nCurated by Abla Touglo Midodji\, Emily Coneybeare\, Cameron Findlay\, and Zhikall Kakei\, as part of the Master of Museum Studies program at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Information\, in collaboration with The ArQuives Curatorial Committee.

SUMMARY:Eroded: WIP short film and open conversation
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to the work in progress screening of Eroded\, a graduation project by Diego Abbati\, a MFA in Film Student at HDK-Valand (Sweden). The aim is to open a conversation departing from the themes and ideas that the film presents. The film is 17 minutes in length and in English (with English subtitles). \nSynopsis: Hanlan’s Point Beach in Toronto is Canada’s oldest surviving queer space. Today\, erosion is slowly washing parts of it away. Eroded moves between paintings\, home videos and present-day footage on the beach\, tracing what remains as the landscape changes. James revisits his photographs of Hanlan’s in the 1970s\, reflecting on cruising\, gay visibility\, and what has since been lost. Lez Beach\, a sapphic collective\, (re)claims space and representation through bonfires on the shoreline. Zack opens up about his painting practice\, and how drawing becomes his way to remember. Brian shares home movies from his youth in 1980s Toronto\, looking back on what it means to leave a legacy through images. Together\, these voices reveal how a place persists through the people who return to it\, even as the shore itself begins to vanish. \nDirector’s biography: Diego Abbati (he/him) is a Spanish filmmaker and editor based in Gothenburg\, Sweden\, currently pursuing an MFA in Film at HDK-Valand (University of Gothenburg). He studied documentary filmmaking at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and completed additional studies at Toronto Metropolitan University. His work explores the relationships between people\, space\, memory\, and identity\, often bringing past\, present\, and future into dialogue. Previous works such as “Like a Childhood Friend” (2023) have explored immigration and exile experiences; his current research focuses on queer experiences within shifting urban and ecological landscapes. \nRegistration required through the “Get Tickets” link.
