Over the weekend, the Canon Creator Lab and The Creator Class hosted Studio Nine, an experiential art playground at Free Space. This interactive museum featured installations by nine Canadian female photographers with the goal of inspiring young women to explore the world of visual storytelling. Canon, along with the selected photographers Neva Wireko, Gemma Warren, Rosanna Peng, Zhamak Fullad, Billie Chiasson, Maya Fuhr, Dani Reynolds, Sylvia Jade and Chantelle Silva, created a unique experience where guests were encouraged to rent a camera and roam the museum with the hopes of capturing their own moments. Studio Nine was by far one of the coolest photography experiences I've ever had - what photographer wouldn't love a studio with nine different professionally lit sets? I can't wait to see what the Canon Creator Lab does next.
Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters
On Halloween, AGO Next hosted a spooky event to showcase the new Guillermo del Toro: At Home with Monsters exhibit. This extraordinary exhibition features curiosities and relics from the director's childhood, films, and personal life, providing a unique look into del Toro's wild imagination and the inspiration behind his signature genre of horror. From Pan's Labyrinth to Crimson Peak, what better way to spend Halloween than at home with monsters?
