ArtworxTO Talks

Live @ 5

A 10-part ArtworxTO-led Talks Series held on the second Wednesday of every month. Artists, experts and community leaders will discuss their recent projects and answer questions from viewers. The series will focus on how art improves and betters our lives.

Live @ 5:

Defining a Monument Landscape for the Future 

May 11, 2022

Hosted by Rebecca Carbin, ART+PUBLIC UnLtd.

Moderated by Maya Wilson-Sanchez, independent curator, writer, and editor.

ArtworxTO is a legacy investment in diversifying definitions of public art and opportunities for artists and the public. In these two chapters of ArtworxTO Talks, we want to acknowledge that what we traditionally call public art in Toronto, comes from the historic trajectory and language of the monument. We want to invite artists and practitioners to the table to discuss their own work that relates to this language of monument and how a future monumental landscape might look.
