A free exhibition is inviting Torontonians to dive into the deep meanings of home through a thought-provoking journey with rare artifacts and community cherished items.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Living in one of the most multicultural cities in the world, defining home can be complex and personal for many Torontonians. People say that home is where the heart is, but with roots in various places, what exactly does home mean to Torontonians? Is it the people you love? Your childhood home? Your parents\u2019 birth country? Or the place you currently live?\u00a0<\/p>\n
These are the questions that Market Gallery\u2019s exhibition explores, taking attendees through the intriguing past, present and future definitions of home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From now until Nov. 30, At Home in Toronto<\/a> is open on the second floor of St. Lawrence Market at 95 Front St. E.<\/p>\n The exhibit brings together a collection of rare documents, photography, bold contemporary art\u00a0 and other treasured objects from the city and its community members, taking attendees through real-life reflections that drive so many into calling this city their home.\u00a0<\/p>\n Objects include rare art and historical pieces that teach Torontonians more about their city. Anishnabe Saulteaux artist Robert Houle\u2019s \u201cPremises for Self Rule: The Royal Proclamation,\u201d for example, is part of a series of five paintings that reflect on the government\u2019s promises to First Nations people over land through the creation of the 1763 Royal Proclamation.\u00a0<\/p>\n Another artifact on display is Toronto-based Jamaican artist Frantz Brent-Harris\u2019s towering figure sculpture, created as a symbol of resistance and cultural memory with inspiration over the Jamaican Junkanoo Festival.\u00a0<\/p>\n Attendees can expect to see art pieces by other renowned locals, such as Luis Jacob, Rebecca Baird, and Natalie Wood.\u00a0<\/p>\n In addition to thought-provoking art, the collection includes incredible personal artifacts full of deep meaning, including a World War I soldier\u2019s return ticket to the city and intimate family heirlooms from locals.\u00a0<\/p>\n The exhibition also includes the screening of a documentary video on Canada\u2019s housing crisis, addressing efforts to create safe and inclusive spaces for the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n This meaningful exhibition is part of a broader project by the Toronto History Museums<\/a>, which includes the collection, pop-up exhibitions, and a series of interesting programs across the city\u2019s 10 historic museums.<\/p>\n Market Gallery\u2019s exhibition is open from Wednesday to Sunday between 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admission is completely free.
