Sea. Sugar. Salt offers a space of reflection about the Caribbean through the work of eleven artists, who continue to have familial and lived ties to the region. Each of the works speaks to an intimate engagement with the land, sharing a way of knowing it through physical experience and embodied knowledge. The work attests to the ways in which Caribbean communities resist, adapt, and create—sustaining powerful traditions of solidarity, cultural expression, and environmental care in the wake of the pressures of colonial legacies, social and economic inequity, and environmental incursions and climate change.Land. Sea. Sugar. Salt. is circulated by Remai Modern with the support of the Frank & Ellen Remai Foundation.February 25, 2026–April 11, 2026Justina M. Barnicke Gallery, 7 Hart House CircleCurated by Elizabeth DiggonHangama Amiri creates intricately layered textile compositions that muse on kinship, and memory, and the meaning of home. PARTING/فراق builds on an ongoing body of work that focuses on the artist’s personal history and diasporic experience during the nine-year period of familial separation that followed her family’s migration from Kabul in 1996, when the artist was seven years old. In the present, Amiri draws on family photographs and letters to create dense and lush collages that tend to her and her family’s daily lives in the diaspora, and witness the immense labour of caring for a family amidst migration and separation.Hangama Amiri: PARTING/فراق at the Art Museum is organized and circulated by Esker Foundation, Calgary.BLACKWOOD GALLERY, UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO MISSISSAUGAThe Neurocultures Collective (Georgia Bradburn, Benjamin Brown, Sam Shown-Ahearn, Robin Elliot-Knowles, Lucy Walker), a group of neurodivergent artists in collaboration with artist-filmmaker Steven EastwoodOctober 1, 2025–February 28, 2026Curated by Christine ShawSTIM CINEMA is an exhibition and moving image installation that explores neurodivergent perception, agency, and communication in an era increasingly defined by misinformation, polarization, and systemic distrust.At its core, the project asks: What does it mean to trust one’s own perception when dominant narratives privilege certain ways of sensing, knowing, and being? How do neurodivergent experiences of movement, repetition, and sensory engagement challenge dystopian conditions of control, standardization, and hypersynchronization?Comprised of tactile zoetropes, a three-screen film installation, and a studio featuring the collective’s collaborative process, STIM CINEMA critically intervenes in the dystopian conditions where difference is pathologized, sensory processing is disciplined, and trust in institutions is eroded. Instead of reinforcing logics of neurotypicality, this project explores other linguistic and embodied possibilities for being in relation—where trust is built through sensory connection, shared experience, and an ethics of care.Imane Boukaila, Hannah Emerson, Lauren Russell, Adam WolfondFebruary 1–April 30, 2026Curated by Chris MartinLightbox exhibition presented alongside STIM CINEMA in the Blackwood’s campus galleries.Spreads from the Multiverse is the plainest way to say what these images are: spread pages from texts in the Multiverse series of neurodivergent writing from Milkweed Editions. But Spreads from the Multiverse also gestures towards Adam Wolfond’s invitation to “extend the choreography.” Something spreads from the text to the reader, who these images make clear is also always a viewer. And when it spreads, there is a transference of sorts, a contagion, a becoming. The text, as Hannah Emerson writes, “helps you get / that the world was made / from the garbage at the bottom / of the universe that was boiling over / with joy that wanted to become you you / you yes yes yes.” Joyful contagion, gregarious becoming. The text, as Lauren Russell writes, “above beneath within between” is “asking / a question that blooms in me like a tulip.” Omnidirectional bouquet, walking garden of questions. By extending the choreography, becoming ourselves, and blooming anew, we are, as Imane Boukaila writes, “distancing totally ourselves / from OMG dusty norms.” How will the spreads spread from human to text to human to text to human and on and on? How will the reading be spreading from here to there, from you to you to you to yes?For full program descriptions and artist bios, visit the and the pages on the Art Museum’s website, and the and pages on the Blackwood website.AccessibilityWhile all stops on the tour are accessible and free of physical barriers, we regret that the shuttle bus is not accessible.The Land.
