A Festival of Art, Culture and Intersectionality presented by Myseum of Toronto
Myseum Intersections is an annual festival took place from April 2021 to June 2021. The festival explores intersectional perspectives of Toronto through collaborative exhibits, events, and experiences. Intersections presents a wide array of programming intended to create dialogue on civic issues and inspire a deeper knowledge and appreciation of our city.
Myseum’s Intersections festival fosters collaboration and partnership, bringing together community, culture, arts and heritage organizations to produce compelling programs and a space for lesser known narratives of under-represented communities.
The festival is adopting a new hybrid model, balancing socially distanced physical exhibits with virtual exhibits, events, and experiences. The Collision Gallery featured two virtual exhibits, Women in Hip Hop and This Woman's Work: Akanzyla.

In this 7-hour live durational performance that happened on Friday, June 25th, you are invited into her apartment to witness a work day from a possible future where feminine principles such as interspecies communication, ancestral intelligence, ecological healing, care and cooperation reign, but conflict with the residue of destructive legacy systems including colonialism, white supremacy and capitalism. Audience members will be invited to participate in collective work throughout the day, sensing into what futures of how we labour are available to us.
