Events Guide June-September 2017
Welcome!
As we imagined what programming at Harbourfront Centre in this pivotal year would look and feel like, we arrived at a summer-long celebration called Sounds of Home – a sonic tribute to the strength and diversity found across the land known as Turtle Island. Four distinct weekend festivals in July form the core of this programming vision, gathering home-grown talent from across Canada for an array of evocative and entertaining events ranging from concerts, comedy shows, family activities, culinary events and late-night afterparties. From coast-to-coast-to-coast, we will present Prairies to Pacific (July 7–9), Shield to Shore (July 14–16) and Northern Passages (July 21–23). But the first of these festivals, Our Home on Native Land (June 30 – July 3), is perhaps the one we invite you to listen to most closely. One of the initial questions I asked each artistic director at Harbourfront Centre when we began to discuss what 2017 programming would look like was: how does a nation celebrate colonization? And where is the Indigenous voice in that conversation? In response, we invited Rhéanne Chartrand to curate what became Our Home On Native Land . In this, it is our hope that Harbourfront Centre will provide a space where creative exploration will lead to an increased awareness of our individual and collective responsibility on the path to Reconciliation. Also culminating in July with live performances each weekend is Sound Journeys. Exploring the contemporary sounds of our home – in partnership with the British Council and the British 34
Underground – three pairs of singer– songwriters from the UK and Canada embark on three Canadian train journeys, from the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia to the Atlantic Ocean of the East Coast, writing music inspired by the contemporary landscape of Canada. Each pair of singer–songwriters will premiere their new creations at our festivals. Throughout the summer season, audiences will continue to enjoy Free Flicks on Wednesdays, Dancing on the Pier (Thursdays), and Summer Music in the Garden concerts (most Thursdays and Sundays). Additionally, we welcome the return of our regular programming highlights, including Island Soul, Beats Breaks and Culture, the Hot & Spicy Food Festival, and our cultural partner festivals, Tirgan, Habari Africa Festival and TaiwanFest . With the generous support of the Government of Canada, on Tuesday, June 27 we celebrate the most diverse city in the world. Here in the 6ix: Celebrate Multiculturalism Day will feature a sunrise ceremony and neighbourhood breakfast, a full day of free performances and workshops, capped off by evening performances on the outdoor Concert Stage. We invite you to join us for what promises to be a memorable summer season at Harbourfront Centre.

Fall 2017 Exhibitions September 23 – December 22 In 1967, the National Gallery of Canada hosted 51 artists on Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square in a groundbreaking demonstration of how contemporary art could help to define a national historical narrative.

As both a video project and an exhibition, it creates a possible narrative about what contemporary art can be in Canada today. Photo: Yannick Grandmont. Part of Legacies 150.

Through an exploration of urban sites in Congo, Sammy Baloji and anthropologist Filip de Boeck focus on the utopian idea of an “urban now,” a moment suspended between the colonial past and the promise of a neoliberal future.
Amalia Pica continues her engagement with the failures of communication and technology. For her show at The Power Plant, she will produce a new body of work featuring cardboard reconstructions of the acoustic mirror warning systems that were built along the coastlines of England in the 1920s and 1930s. Ydessa Hendeles
Ydessa Hendeles: The Milliner’s Daughter June 24 – September 4 Ydessa Hendeles explores difference and diversity by assembling objects and artefacts to make contemporary fables about the way representation, distortion, appropriation and assimilation can filter group and individual identities. This first survey of her artistic practice will display works from the past decade that develop these subjects such as From her wooden sleep..., THE BIRD THAT MADE THE BREEZE TO BLOW and Church & State (The Puss in Boots Project). 22
