Join us for a stroll through the Image Centre (Toronto Metropolitan University) for a tour of the Magnum’s First and Chim’s Children of Europe (1949) exhibitions, led by curator Gaëlle Morel. A special opportunity to explore these two exhibitions, which focus on rediscovered archives and postwar perspectives. Together, we’ll explore these photographs that bear witness to a world in the midst of reconstruction.

Quartier Libre is a micro-library located inside le Labo. Designed as a research and inspiration tool for artists. It brings together books, catalogues, publications, journals, and technical resources mainly in French (you can find our catalogue here), prioritizing circularity and eco-responsibility

This year, our silent auction invites you to discover Microcuriosities. For one evening, let yourself be surprised by an exhibition where each intimate and inventive work reveals its poetry and originality. Small-format creations that prioritize sensitivity and connection, for a warm and human experience, far removed from the spectacular.
The 3rd of December, starting at 6:30pm at Le Labo (401 Richmond – studio 277)
