April Meeting Speaker - Market Gallery Guest Curator, Wendy Vincent

We are pleased to announce that Wendy Vincent, the guest curator for The Market Gallery’s current exhibit - “Migrant Stories” will be the featured speaker at the SLNA’s April 24th Community Meeting.

Migrant Stories is a pop up exhibit supported by The International City Partnerships and the Migrant Story Telling Project. Toronto and its partner city of Frankfurt, Germany are working on a multi-year joint program to build an experience where migrant stories are shared and amplified through a global and local lens.

Historically, Toronto and Frankfurt are arrival cities and both recognize the importance of municipal leadership on newcomer and migrant issues. This is the first of various projects in this Toronto-Frankfurt partnership. Migrant Stories uses video to highlight the compelling stories of migrants to Toronto, in their own words.

Also featured as a part of Migrant Stories are the experiences of and artifacts from the life of Lloyd Lindo, aka "Uncle Lloyd," a Jamaican British (Windrush Generation) migrant who arrived in Toronto in the mid-20th century and whose story spans three continents and many decades.

Exhibit Title: Migrant Stories
Dates: March 7 - May 4 (Wednesday-Sunday, 11am - 4pm)
Location: The Market Gallery, 95 Front Street East (2nd Floor)
