Toronto History Museums launch new program to explore previously untold stories by BIPOC artists excal.on.ca - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from excal.on.ca Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
Toronto Mayor John Tory said in the release that the city is committed to making investments in BIPOC artists not only to show support of their work but also to deepen awareness of untold stories and to create change. The Awakenings program at the Toronto History Museums helps to address the gaps identified in programming and representation, Tory said. The time to invest and create change is now as we work toward confronting and eradicating anti-Black racism and all forms of racism within multiple facets of our city.
The city said in the release that Toronto History Museums have recognized the need to reassess the way in which they develop, deliver and evaluate their programming.
