MVS Curatorial Studies graduating student exhibitions
May 7–August 1, 2026
Opening reception: Wednesday, May 6, 6–8pm
Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, 7 Hart House Circle (Toronto, ON)
Little and Often traces how our relationships to land, material, and community are sustained within disturbed landscapes and conditions of precarity. Working with seeds, soils, mushrooms, and plants, the artists in this exhibition foreground resilience as a collective, relational practice, continually shifting under constraint. Little and Often is curated by Chloe Gordon-Chow and features works by Maureen Gruben, Rachel Crummey, Miguel Caba, Rana Nazzal Hamadeh, and Meech Boakye and Bhavika Sharma.
Curated by Gia Liapi, Blind Spot explores the potentials of finding new uses for the tools already in our hands. Through video, installation, performance, and software, artists Shadi Habib Allah, Shu Lea Cheang, Jeremy Laing, Lou Sheppard, and Iris Touliatou examine how legibility and classification produce value to open conversations about alternative architectures to learn from and with.
The exhibitions are produced as part of the requirements for the Master of Visual Studies (MVS) in Curatorial Studies at U of T's Daniels Faculty.
