“Turning in the Light:” A Solo Show by Artist Katharine Harvey

On show from October 3 to 29 at Scarborough’s Clark Centre for the Arts next to Guild Park, Toronto artist Katharine Harvey showcases “Turning in the Light,” an exhibit exploring the intersection of the built environment, history and nature and introducing a new interpretation on the landmarks that have shaped Toronto’s past. Scarborough’s historic Guild Park was founded by art patrons Rosa and Spencer Clark almost a century ago as a haven supporting local Canadian artists during the Great Depression – a space that transformed into the “Guild of All Arts,” where painters, sculptors and craftspeople would live and collaborate. Today, the park remains a significant piece of Scarborough’s community fabric, where the estate’s historic Guild Inn continues to host weddings, photography & television productions, and scenic trails wind through the surrounding forest and lakeshore. This new body of work explores the remarkable architectural fragments preserved at Guild Park. Historic stone carvings rescued from demolished Toronto buildings now coexist with forests, gardens, and Lake Ontario. Through vibrant paintings, Katharine Harvey reveals layered stories that connect built heritage, nature, and memory, inviting viewers to see the park with fresh eyes. Harvey will present “Turning in the Light” in an opening reception at The Clark Centre for the Arts on Sunday, October 4th from 1-3 p.m, followed by a guided tour of Guild Park at 3:15 p.m. presented by John Mason, president of Friends of Guild Park.

Aamchi Mumbai — Our Mumbai by Bhuvana & Sumi Subramoniam

Dombivli Diaries — A Trip Down Mumbai's Gullies If you joined them last time, you might remember Bhuvana and Sumi celebrating their Tamil roots for the sold-out Tamil Puthandu (Tamil New Year) event. But the beautiful thing about food is that it holds space for all the places we've called home. While their heritage is Tamil, Bhuvana's heart was shaped by the vibrant city she grew up in, lovingly called "Aamchi Mumbai" — "Our Mumbai." Tonight, this dynamic mother-daughter duo is back with a brand-new menu. Having grown up in Dombivli, a Mumbai suburb, Bhuvana's post-school and university afternoons weren't just about winding down — they were an education in the art of Mumbai street food. Decades later, that culinary DNA was passed down to her daughter, Sumi. Sumi's childhood summers were a sensory blur of monsoons, grandparents' love, and the undeniable magic of the city's food stalls. They're bringing a completely fresh culinary chapter. Yes, you'll find beloved icons like the humble vada pav, but this evening is a celebration of hyper-local Maharashtrian gems — the kind of dishes that belong to the narrow lanes, local trains and family kitchens of the state, rarely seen on global menus. They hope you enjoy eating this food as much as they loved bringing it to life for you. —– 🌱 This menu is entirely plant-based, except for the vada pav, for which a vegan option is available on request. Note: Bhuvana follows a sattvic diet (no onion, no garlic), and Sumi is vegan. Kothimbir Vadi with Date Tamarind Chutney and Sabudana Khichdi Steamed chickpea flour and cilantro cakes, pan-fried until golden and topped with toasted sesame seeds for a nutty, earthy bite. Paired with our date tamarind chutney. Vada Pav with Green Chutney, Bhuvana's Red Chutney, and Masala Chai The ultimate Mumbai classic. Deep-fried, spiced potato dumplings nestled inside a pav (dinner roll), finished with our vibrant green chutney and Bhuvana's secret dry red chutney — traditionally made with garlic, but since Bhuvana follows a sattvic diet, this version is entirely garlic-free while packing that same signature intensity. Served with a fried green chili on the side for the adventurous. Dietary note: we can substitute the standard dinner rolls on request with certified vegan buns, which are also gluten-free. Sabudana Khichdi Tapioca pearls stir-fried with aromatic curry leaves, crushed peanuts and fresh coconut. A staple breakfast or snack in most Maharashtrian households, traditionally eaten during religious fasts because it's completely grain-free. Misal Poha with Rainbow Koshimbir and Farsan Spiced moth beans and whole green moong lentils cooked in a savoury gravy, served over fluffy flattened rice and topped with farsan for crunch. Paired with our rainbow koshimbir. Rainbow Koshimbir A crisp, bright carrot, cucumber and beetroot slaw. Green Chutney A herby cilantro chutney with a hint of chili, blended with coconut for a creamy consistency and finished with a squeeze of lemon juice. Date Tamarind Chutney Our house-made sweet and tangy condiment, blending caramel-like sweetness with vibrant fruit acidity and warming spices. Pineapple Sheera A comforting, semolina-based dessert with bites of juicy pineapple throughout. Traditionally made with ghee, but we use cold-pressed coconut oil for a vegan twist. Masala Chai No Mumbai street-food experience is complete without tea — this oat milk masala chai offers a perfect cup of warmth as we move into the colder season. —– BOOK NOW $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/supper-club-dombivli-diaries-a-trip-down-mumbais-gullies-by-bhuvana-sumi-subramoniam —– Bhuvana Subramoniam was born and raised in Dombivli, a suburban city in the Greater Mumbai Area, then lived in Kolkata (West Bengal) for a few years post-marriage, moved to Bahrain in her 30s, and then Canada in her 50s. She's been part of teams preparing up to 15,000 meals in mega kitchens around Toronto. Sumi Subramoniam, her daughter, has a similar immigration story and is now proud to call the Junction home. Sumi films and posts vegan Indian recipes on her YouTube channel Sumi Subbu. —– Every weekend The Depanneur invites an amateur or professional guest chef to host a fun, informal dinner party.

House (Hausu)

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayashi’s indescribable 1977 movie House (Hausu) ? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby-Doo as directed by Mario Bava? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home and comes face-to-face with evil spirits, a demonic house cat, a bloodthirsty piano, and other ghoulish visions, all realized by Obayashi via mattes, animation, and collage effects. Equally absurd and nightmarish, House might have been beamed to Earth from some other planet. Never before available on home video in the United States, it’s one of the most exciting cult discoveries in years. In Japanese, with English subtitles.

ExperienceTO: University of Toronto Historical Tour

Join us for the free-to-attend University of Toronto Historical Tour. About the University of Toronto: "What would become the University of Toronto (U of T) was founded as King's College by royal charter in 1827. The College was initially controlled by the government and the Church of England. In 1849, the institution was secularized, and, in 1850, became the nondenominational University of Toronto. The Anglicans responded by creating Trinity College in Toronto in 1851 (actually opening in 1852). In the 1850s the University of Toronto was reorganized and University College was created as its teaching arm. Structural changes encouraged other denominational colleges to federate with U of T: Victoria College (Methodist, founded 1841 in Cobourg) and St Michael's College (Roman Catholic, founded 1852 in Toronto by the Basilian Order) joined in 1890 and Trinity College in 1904. Each of them retained their university status to continue granting degrees in theology. During this period some of Toronto's theological colleges also federated with the university. Knox College (founded 1844), originally a Presbyterian seminary, affiliated with the university in 1885 and federated in 1890. Wycliffe College (Anglican, founded 1877) became a federated college in 1889. Emmanuel College (Methodist, founded 1836) became affiliated with the university as a United Church of Canada seminary in 1925, the year the United Church came into existence. Scarborough College, now U of T Scarborough, was first built in 1964 and then Erindale College, now U of T Mississauga, in 1966. Over the course of its history, the university has trained many famous Canadian personalities. Today, the university has more than 97,600 students studying in over 80 departments." ( The Canadian Encyclopedia ) Join us for a FREE, public walking tour that will be a good experience for anyone: whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, and whether you’re a curious local, solo traveler, backpacker, newcomer, or part of a group of friends.

Fry, Fold & Feast — Pakoras & Paranthas by Sargam Nayyar

A fun, hands-on foray into some classic Indian savoury snacks: crispy, gluten-free chickpea flour pakoras, and paranthas, delicious stuffed flatbreads. Along the way you'll also discover a bright and tangy chutney, and a fragrant mango pudding, all based on family recipes Sargam Nayyar grew up making. Pakoras For over a thousand years across the subcontinent, Indians have been frying up besan batter along with myriad ingredients and seasoning to create delicious snacks. Sargam will walk you through a few of the many versions and techniques out there — mixed vegetable, onion, and bread pakoras, stuffed vs. dipped — and explain what makes them work: how batter consistency and oil temperature decide whether they turn out crisp or greasy. We'll fry up a fresh batch, while you learn how to make a quick & easy homemade coriander and mint chutney to enjoy along side your fresh pakoras. Stuffed Paranthas Then it's your turn at the counter to make mini stuffed paranthas by hand, kneading the dough, working in ingredients, rolling and stuffing them with a filling of spiced potato, cauliflower, and paneer. You'll get a feel for the dough, and learn how much filling it can hold before it splits, and rolling it out evenly so nothing spills out on the tawa (griddle). Everyone will get to cook and enjoy the paranthas they make. Aamras We'll close with aamras, a simple but exquisite desert of silky mango pulp finished with a pinch of cardamom. —– BOOK NOW! – $79 + HST – https://thedepanneur.ca/products/cooking-class-fry-fold-feast-pakoras-paranthas-by-sargam-nayyar —– Sargam Nayyar is the founder of Pudina Kitchen, a Toronto-based food community built around Indian fusion cooking, supper clubs, and private events.

Dear Lara

Dear Lara is a deeply personal documentary that exposes decades of sexual abuse and institutional complicity in the classical music world. The story begins in 2019, when renowned violinist Lara St. John speaks out about the sexual assault she endured as a 14-year-old student at the elite Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. After her story is published in The Philadelphia Inquirer, she is flooded with letters and outreach from fellow survivors. Determined to make these voices heard, Lara travels across North America and Europe to meet others who, like her, were failed by the very organizations meant to protect them. As these personal accounts accumulate, a pattern emerges of institutions shielding predators at the expense of the vulnerable. Blending unflinching testimony, investigative rigor, and a haunting original score, the film exposes ingrained practices of harm and cover-ups, rooted in power, silence, and the worship of reputation over justice. Supported by fellow musicians, journalists, students and activists pressing for accountability, Lara’s pursuit to illuminate this insidious pattern in the classical music world serves as both a reckoning from within and a rallying cry for cultural change, created by someone who lived an all-too-common ordeal and refused to look away. Join director and film subject Lara St. John for a special post-screening Q&A. TICKETS (+HST) General: $15 Members: $10, $8, FREE

Nostalgia for the Light

Prix Chalais Winner, 2010 Cannes Film Festival Best Documentary Grand Prix, 2010 European Film Awards Top 10 Best Movies of 2010, Sight & Sound Master director Patricio Guzmán, famed for his political documentaries capturing the history and politics of Chile ( The Battle of Chile , Salvador Allende , The Pinochet Case ), travels 10,000 feet above sea level to the driest place on earth. Atop the mountains of the Atacama Desert, astronomers from all over the world gather to observe the stars. The sky is so translucent that it allows them to see right to the boundaries of the universe. The Atacama Desert is also a place where the harsh heat of the sun keeps human remains intact: those of Pre-Columbian mummies; 19th century explorers and miners; and the remains of political prisoners, disappeared by the Chilean army after the military coup of September 11, 1973. While astronomers examine the most distant and oldest galaxies, at the foot of the mountains, women, surviving relatives of the disappeared whose bodies were dumped here, search, even after twenty-five years, for the remains of their loved ones, to reclaim their families’ histories. Melding the celestial quest of the astronomers and the earthly one of the Chilean women, Nostalgia for the Light is a gorgeous, moving, and deeply personal odyssey. In Spanish and English, with English subtitles. This is Jane's Staff Pick: Jane Hui Wang ( The Gardener and the Dictator) is an acclaimed filmmaker and one of our Cinema's managers on duty.
