A Toronto gallery dedicated to the exhibition of contemporary art

06/03/2026

Across the solo exhibition 𝘈 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘶𝘳𝘴, 𝗗𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗹𝗶 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗲 traces the evolving contours of childhood, kinship, and masculinity, moving from boyhood into the tender uncertainties of becoming.

The photographs linger in the in-between spaces of adolescence and early adulthood, where identity is shaped through connection.

💫 On view until June 13!

🌿📿🌿📿 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵’𝘀 practice considers adornment as a language of identity and lineage. His use of beads evokes continuity, ritual, and the marking of time, functioning as both material and metaphor. Through his exploration of familial connection and inherited knowledge, Shadrach extends portraiture beyond the face, emphasizing tactility, presence, and the quiet persistence of memory embedded in objects and materials.

𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 & 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵: New & Notable Works, continues until June 13.

Now on view in our upper gallery, the dynamic textile practice of 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗵 𝗦𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 in dialogue with new paintings by 𝗚𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗵.

Saunders’ richly layered textile works centre Black womanhood, amplifying joy, strength, and resilience. Through vibrant compositions and intricate stitching, she draws on motifs and iconography from her Jamaican heritage, weaving together personal and collective histories. Her work engages socio-cultural narratives that reclaim power from oppressive ideologies, positioning the body as both a site of beauty and resistance.

Saunders work is proudly presented with thanks to Emilie Croning and TrépanierBaer Gallery.

The work of 𝗘𝗺𝗺𝗮 𝗡𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗿𝗮 is now on view at the as part of 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘬𝘬𝘢𝘯: 𝘔𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘌𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘑𝘢𝘱𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘈𝘳𝘵. 🎏🎍🎏🎍

Curated by Dr. Akiko Takesue, this groundbreaking ROM-original exhibition explores the profound connection between Japanese objects and the human sense of touch, known as shokkan—a vital element in the creation, appreciation, and circulation of Japanese art. Transcending the tactile sensations felt at the fingertips, shokkan is the personal, psychological impression of touch that is influenced by sight, sound, language, and memory.

𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘬𝘬𝘢𝘯 is now on view until September 7, 2026.
