Curators will leave with ideas, questions and challenges that will help reframe how we hold space, tell stories, and serve the communities to whom these spaces belong.Curators will have an opportunity to learn, to express their ideas, share their challenges, and come away with inspired and enriched to navigate complex questions in the opportunities and responsibilities their role embodies to impact audiences through art.Remarks by Special Guest: Vice President &amp; Executive Director, Programming and Special Events of Toronto Union, Syma ShahSyma is responsible for overseeing and delivering Toronto Union’s programming vision.
