The Latin American-Canadian
Experience
A social pop up experience pulling you into the heart of the Chilean art scene, in downtown Toronto.
About
A Latin American-Canadian Art Exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, with physical and digital art done by Chilean-Canadian artists, as well as a VR experience of the Barrio Lastarria in Santiago. The Exhibit will also include a small coffee shop, where Peruvian coffee will be served to enhance the immersive experience.
​
A simultaneous gallery will be held at Fundación CorpArtes in Santiago, featuring the same Chilean-Canadian artists. A digital message board will be featured at both events, allowing both Chilean and Canadian visitors to connect and share their thoughts.
​
With COVID-19, the concept of travel can be seen as risky or troublesome to many even during this period of recovery. This exhibition will allow those of Latin-American descent, as well as the general public, to experience a different country without the hassle of travel.
