What do you wish to see in Toronto’s arts and culture?

These are the wishes woven within my installation, The Dream Weave at the Mayor’s Cultural Summit on April 20, 2026 hosted by @cityofto @culture_to @mayoroliviachow @tolivegram and sponsored by @maisonsimons

I harvested these contributions from Toronto artists and community members—voices speaking to what is needed, what is missing, and what is possible.

Across these entries, there were calls for greater investment in the arts, living wages for artists, and equitable opportunities. For more spaces to create and gather, for intergenerational connection, and for stronger support in communities like Scarborough. For access, care, and cultural inclusion that goes beyond tokenism.

These voices form a collective vision.

What is needed is already here.
The question is how we choose to support it—and how we build it together.

What do you wish to see in Toronto’s arts and culture?📣

Maligayang Tagsibol🌸even from barren land, we bloom

Masdan mo
kahit sa tigang na lupa
mga munting usbong
nagpupumilit mamukadkad
upang sa iyo’y
ganda nila’y ipang-aliw. (by Marites C. Cayetano)

January 22 👑

I’m so excited to share that Rachana (@rxchjoshi) of @kaladancecollective is hosting a truly unique event that brings together Indian classical and other art forms, rooted in the joy of experimentation and play.

Rachana’s passion is deeply inspiring. Her first curation of this experience left me wanting so much more, and I already know this night will be unforgettable. This space is open to artists of all music and dance skill levels — the heart of the evening is collaboration, curiosity, and discovery.

We come from such a rich South Asian and Indian diasporic artistic lineage of Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Carnatic music, Hindustani music, and so much more, and this night is about letting those forms meet, bend, and evolve together.

Her board including myself, Nash, @petit_mouster, and @its_miss_masala has been honoured to support Rachana in bringing something truly special to life. We’re dancers of varying levels, some of us singers too, and we’ll all be there, learning and creating together.

Come as you are. Come to explore. 💛
