Events Description

 

Dancing in the Light is an exhibition of portraiture drawn from The Wedge Collection. The exhibition continues MOCA Toronto’s ongoing series, The City is a Collection, which brings some of Toronto’s most engaging private collections to the public.

Featuring the work of 44 artists including Oreka James, Carrie Mae Weems, Jonathan Lyndon Chase and Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Dancing in the Light examines portraiture across a variety of mediums as a way of entering into a more nuanced consideration of contemporary Black life. Rethinking moments of stillness and vulnerability as instances of strength, the exhibition works against the flattened and commodified image of Blackness so often experienced within art history and popular visual culture.
