The Toronto Biennial of Art was a 72-day, free art exhibition that took place every two years.
For this Toronto Biennial event, an intimate conversation under the stars brought together artist, poet and educator Elder Duke Redbird and renowned astrophysicist Dr. Renée Hložek to discuss the human relationship to the cosmos from a multiplicity of perspectives. In the context of Elder Redbird’s project Wigwam Chi-Chemung based in and around Ontario Place Marina and Caecilia’s Tripp’s Intersteller Sleep at AGYU and 259 Lake Shore Blvd East, the conversation moved toward Indigenizing Astronomy curricula.
Visitors were invited to bring along warm clothing and blankets for the event.
