Event Description
Carlos Gárate Where We Sing: Documenting a Folk Revival
May 8 – 29
Since 2011, Carlos Gárate has documented Toronto’s Ukrainian art scene through an ongoing focus on the city’s folk art revival and the informal cultural spaces in which it takes place. Emerging alongside Toronto’s world music and folk revival scenes, the exhibition traces the Kosa Arts community (then Kosa Kolektiv) and the networks that form around it. The photographs move across church basements, cultural centres, house parties, neighbourhood bars, businesses, and public parks. Spanning more than fifteen years, the images foreground folk elements, gestures, and materials, presenting moments of gathering, performance, and shared cultural life as they unfold across the city.
