The discussion pivots on three questions, with each presenter rotating the role of provocateur - to invite meaningful conversation about the nature (and future) of institutional practices.

The conference is co-organized by The Rooms with Eastern Edge Artist-Run Centre, St. Michael's Printshop, and Grenfell Gallery (Memorial University). The event is free to the public.

Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
