2020-2021 Season Series

X Avant XV: Transmissions

Mostly programmed by our Artistic Associates, celebrating the transition/transmission of artistic leadership and ideas, the festival was entirely online

This festival was the primary programming showcase of the work of Artistic Associates Pratishtha Kohli and Olivia Shortt, with contributions from Dacks. A mixture of video art, interviews, video-based concerts from our venue and the Aga Khan Museum and a “Zoom wake” honouring MG OG Ron Gaskin sought to build community in an online forum as best as possible.
