Art Museum at the University of Toronto: Dwelling Under Distant Suns

The Art Museum at the University of Toronto is thrilled to present the new exhibition Dwelling Under Distant Suns curated by Master of Visual Studies Curatorial Studies graduate student Yantong Li from Sept. 4–Dec. 20, 2025, at the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery. Featured artists Kent Chan, Alvin Luong, and Solveig Qu Suess interrogate the way we currently consume media about environmental precarity, inviting viewers to engage in a dialogue and sit with representations of catastrophe that deemphasize the spectacular and dramatic. Dwelling Under Distant Suns highlights the struggle to make visible the increasingly unpredictable landscape of the climate crisis and other human-led impacts on the environment. Using speculative storytelling and myth-making through film-based works, this exhibition brings a sense of immediacy to our planet’s growing climate crisis and the environmental dangers that feel distant or out of sight.

The Art Museum is open to the public. Admission is always free.
