Events Description

 

Join us for a groundbreaking event at Nuit Blanche Toronto as Johnnie Walker proudly presents “She Work Hard For It,” an immersive art installation curated by acclaimed Canadian artist Ashley McKenzie-Barnes. This installation features the remarkable works of leading Canadian artists Lido Pimienta, Maria Qamar (Hatecopy), and Miss Me, who boldly address gender bias in the art world and emphasize the need to celebrate and create more opportunities for women-identifying artists in Canada.

Experience the transformative power of art and celebrate those who defy norms, blaze fresh trails and inspire change for all. Explore Lido Pimienta’s maze-like installation, Maria Qamar’s large-scale pop-art display, and walk through Miss Me’s tunnel of sisterhood and love.

This event is part of Johnnie Walker’s ‘First Strides’ initiative, which invests in cultural trailblazers through grants, visibility, mentorship, and empowerment programming, with a goal of uplifting diverse communities spanning various fields.

Don’t miss this opportunity to reshape perceptions, challenge expectations, and celebrate the power of women in art. Admission is free, so bring your friends and family for a night of inspiration.
