Check out The Echoes of Community featuring Akin Artists and their City Wide Projections in Partnership with BigArtTO!
Akin is thrilled to be partnering with BigArtTO as part of ArtworxTO to present 12 current and past Akin artists responding to the theme of “The Echoes of Community”. These projections around the city address our questions around notions of community: How do collective and community rooted experiences radically reimagine art practices? How does ancestral knowledge of the past and the future inspire our making? What is revolutionary about community ties and how do we utilize those connections to upend oppressive systems?
Here’s when and where you can check out the works!
