Kay Tout Moune Unconference  OCADU, April 20-27

Kay Tout Moune (pronounced Kai toot moon) is a week-long unconference that examines the global movements of people with their ideas, knowledge, visionary contemplations, and social praxis through a postmigrant perspective.

The Greater Toronto Art 24 Triennial exhibition, which opened last month at the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), demonstrates how historical and ongoing migratory movements have shaped the city’s cultural and artistic landscape. The show includes the work of 25 artists whose roots/routes span from Palestine to Port-au-Pince to Port Severn. This “field trip” is an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the exhibition in two separate segments.5:00 - 6:00 p.m. Walkthrough with Toleen TouqPreviously based in Amman, Jordan, Touq is a curator, cultural producer, and writer whose approach uses site responsiveness as a methodology to build radical pedagogical platforms and alternative knowledge systems. Touq is one of the three curators of the exhibition and will facilitate a summary and thoughtful engagement with the exhibition.6:00 - 6:45 p.m. Walk with Lisa MyersLisa Myers is an independent curator and artist with a keen interest in interdisciplinary collaboration.
