Events, talks and tours

Doors Open Toronto presented by Great Gulf

The RIC is once again pleased to participate in Doors Open. One weekend every year, Doors Open Toronto provides an opportunity to explore some of the most architecturally, historically, culturally and socially significant buildings across the city – many of which are not usually open to the public.

Curator Talk with Ryan Rice

How Many Times Do I Have To Tell You?

In this guest lecture, Rice will speak from his experience as a curator, critic and cultural mediator in relation to Indigenous presence across the field of contemporary art and culture. With the CONTACT Festival as the current site of contemplation, issues around curatorial practice, photography and lens-based media will be a focal point to usurp spaces of agency primed for decolonization.
