Aesop's Queer Library
Aesop’s Queer Library will return to Toronto from Friday, June 26 to Sunday, June 28 at Aesop Queen St. West . About Aesop’s Queer Library Each year, select Aesop stores are reimagined as immersive literary spaces, where products are replaced with a curated selection of books by queer authors, while Aesop’s signature aromatic elements enrich the reading experience. Across the globe, participating locations will showcase titles from LGBTQIA+ writers, which visitors are invited to enjoy and take home as a gift. Since its inception in 2021, the initiative has distributed over 115,000 books. Named after a master storyteller, Aesop has long been informed and inspired by literature. The Queer Library offers a platform for underrepresented and historically silenced voices, affirming the power of the written word to broaden perspectives, embolden individuals, and foster community. This year’s edition explores the notion of the human body as a bridge between our private interior worlds and what we share with others. Writing that centres on the queer body challenges assumptions, offers visibility to stories and experiences often obscured, and acts as a form of joyful resistance. As in previous years, each visitor will be invited to select a complimentary book to take home (while quantities last, no purchase necessary).

Curating the Village: Open Sessions
Curating the Village: Open Sessions is a two-day gathering of artists, curators, and cultural workers exploring caregiving as both a lived experience and a working condition. Spanning rest, performance, workshops, and conversation, the program brings together perspectives on caring for children, parents, elders, neighbours, the dying, and broader communities. Developed through an ongoing research-creation initiative, Curating the Village approaches care not only as a subject, but as a force that reshapes how artistic and curatorial work is organized, timed, and sustained. Marked by interruption, exhaustion, and relational obligation, caregiving challenges dominant expectations of productivity, availability, and coherence in cultural labour. While “care” circulates widely in contemporary arts discourse, it is still rarely accommodated structurally within programming or institutional time. Through short offerings, shared food, and collective discussion, Open Sessions considers what shifts when care is approached not simply as a trending theme, but as a method—one that foregrounds interdependence, negotiation, and the conditions that make work possible. Program Dates / Times / Locations FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 2026 Evening sessions from 6:15 — 9:00 pm at Theatre Direct (Studio H) Download detailed directions to Studio H HERE SATURDAY, JUNE 27, 2026 Full day from 10:00 am — 6:00 pm at Critical Distance Centre for Curators Please note: Saturday programming includes FREE onsite childcare, a shared meal, and hybrid participation options to support caregiver access.

King Arthur's Night (Relaxed Screening)
Inspired by New World Theatre’s King Arthur’s Night , which had its world premiere at Luminato Festival in 2017, this genre-defying documentary film is rooted in a medieval musical play created by an extraordinary company of artists living with and without Down syndrome. Blending myth, memory, and music, the film moves between an imagined Camelot and the real-world reflections of its creators, including Niall McNeil and Marcus Youssef, alongside director James Long and composer Veda Hille. With humour and heart, it weaves together childhood memories, family relationships, and fantastical characters into a story that is both playful and deeply moving. Celebrating inclusive creation as a vital artistic language, King Arthur’s Night invites audiences into a shared cinematic experience that explores disability, belonging, and who gets to shape the stories we inherit and pass on. Open to everyone, this relaxed screening offers a sensory friendly environment for those in the neuro-diverse community or for anyone who may benefit from a more informal viewing atmosphere. • Throughout the screening, house lights will remain on a low level and the volume will be slightly turned down. • No trailers will be shown. • Audience members will be free to move around, leave the theatre, or take a break in a designated “quiet” area.

Troll 2 – with Peter Kuplowsky
Screening in part of Low Sky Weekend , a city-wide film series hosted by veteran curator (TIFF) and producer ( In a Violent Nature ) Peter Kuplowsky to announce his new film development company Low Sky Productions. Please click here for more details. A summer vacation turns into a feverish nightmare as a family find themselves the intended main course for a clandestine cabal of shape-shifting vegetarian goblins with designs to transform people into vegetables! It's a wackadoo premise born from the mind of veteran Italian genre filmmakers Claudio Fragasso, and executed with sublimely hilarious dissonance as the production deployed a non-English speaking crew to wrangle its non-Italian speaking cast of endearingly hapless American actors. Coronated as the “BEST WORST MOVIE” by the critically acclaimed and award winning documentary of the same name, Troll 2 stands within a pantheon of “cult cinema” that defies all traditional preconceived notions of form, aesthetics and taste, and yet somehow cultivates one of the most entertaining and baffling movie-going experiences of all time. Featuring with an introduction by curator/producer Peter Kuplowsky.

A Little Bit of Our Story: Clay With Me was born from a simple idea: creativity has the power to connect us. In 2010, our founder Gabby moved to Toronto to start a new chapter. As she built her life in a new city, she found belonging in a close-knit community of mothers—women who supported one another, shared their time, and created a sense of home together. It was through this community that clay first entered the picture. Gabby began setting up small clay sessions in her home, using it as a way to keep the kids engaged hands busy, creativity flowing. What started as a simple activity quickly grew into something more, and she opened her kitchen studio to more families. From those early days around a kitchen table, Clay With Me has grown into a space where thousands of people have come to slow down, create, and connect. This anniversary is more than a milestone, it’s a celebration of the community that shaped us.

Conversation: Natalia Romik and Kuba Szreder with Matthew Jocelyn
The conversation features artist Natalia Romik, curator Kuba Szreder, and Koffler Arts' General Director Matthew Jocelyn discussing the exhibition Plague Crystals . This series of crystal towers is created from repurposed vessels containing objects that symbolize a broad range of contemporary plagues. Romik's conception of "plague" extends beyond infectious disease to include political, economic, religious, social, and environmental issues. While the artist selected many of the symbolic objects herself, she solicited nominations for others from academics and community members. The discussion explores the artistic process, the symbolic objects, and how society grapples with dire straits. Dr. Natalia Romik is a public historian, architect, and artist. Her work focuses on Jewish memory and Holocaust commemoration in Eastern Europe, particularly Poland and Ukraine. She has collaborated as a curator and exhibition designer at POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. She is a winner of the 2022 Dan David Prize, the largest prize in the field of history in the world. Kuba Szreder PhD is a researcher, curator, and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw. He is the editor and author of several catalogues, books, readers, book chapters, articles, and manifestos that scrutinize the social, economic, and theoretical aspects of the expanded field of art. In 2025, together with Kacper Greń and the Institute of Network Cultures in Amsterdam, he published the visual essay Duckrabbits Unveiled: A Sneak Peek at Postartistic Theory and Practice.

Not Your Average Painting Workshop – Intuitive Abstract
bymonina is collaborating with Toronto's oldest curated flea market, The Toronto Flea in Leslieville! In this workshop, you'll have a once-in-a-lifetime experience to explore intuition through the subtle act of painting. Unlike traditional painting workshops, there will be no image to copy from – the inspiration is you. Intuition is defined as the ability to understand immediately without conscious reasoning. Painting requires small decisions at every turn – what colour colour should I use? What paintbrush do I like? How much pressure should I apply? The goal of this workshop is to be able to answer low stakes questions without hesitation – trusting your body to lead you in the right direction. What to Expect Light meditation to set your energy for the workshop Acrylic painting and intuitive abstract lesson 4 Card Group Tarot Reading by Jaycee from @the.mindfulawakening Healing card to inspire your process 1-1 Guidance throughout the workshop Access to blue & white acrylic paint, primed canvas, range of paintbrushes and palette knives BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket) Mini Take-Home spiritual healing kit @the.mindfulawakening Whether you’re a curious beginner or a creative soul, this workshop is an experience in connecting with your intuition through the act of painting. All materials provided (except BYOB Bring Your Own Blanket). This is a safe and welcoming space.
