We heard you, so we moved online.

Join us for A Seat at the Table, a series of conversations exploring culture, identity, and belonging across Toronto’s diasporic communities, and how our arts institutions can better serve the people around them.

These are small, discussion based sessions. Your voice matters here, and the conversation is shaped by who’s in the room.

Wednesday, March 25 7:00 to 8:30 PM
Thursday, March 26 from 12:00 to 1:30 PM

Online, join from anywhere

As a thank you for your time, all attendees will be entered into a $200 gift card draw. With a smaller group, the odds are pretty good 🫣

Join us this Sunday. For an in person conversation with @el_mahboob at the Array Music space.

See you there. Forward this post to a friend who would like to be a part of the conversation.

The future of Toronto isn’t being decided in board rooms. It’s being decided in moments like this, when people choose to show up and actually listen to someone whose experience looks nothing like theirs.

Come with curiosity, openness, and your own experiences. And if you need one more reason, every attendee is entered into a draw for a $200 gift card.

Our first session happened Wednesday and it confirmed something we already felt: Toronto needs more rooms where people actually talk to each other. Not perform. Not network. Talk.

Thank you to everyone who showed up and to everyone who signed up and encouraged us along the way. That response meant a lot. The stories shared were honest and personal and what stood out most was how much we have in common even when our backgrounds look nothing alike. Before we can listen to each other we have to come together and recognize how our stories intersect. Wednesday proved that.

Here’s the thing. This city is one of the most diverse in the world and we barely know each other. We live beside communities we’ve never spoken to. We share neighbourhoods but not stories. That’s not going to build the Toronto we say we want.

“A Seat at the Table” is an honest attempt to create space for conversation about culture, identity, and belonging in Toronto’s diasporic communities. Monday’s online session is open to anyone who cares about where this city is headed and wants to be part of shaping it. You don’t need credentials. You don’t need to be an expert on anything except your own life.

Array Music presents “A Seat at the Table”
A series of workshops in the form of conversations.

We’re gathering in small groups to listen, speak plainly, and document how culture, identity, and belonging are actually lived within Toronto’s diasporic communities and within contemporary music spaces.

You do not need a music background.
You do not need the “right” words.
Your lived experience is the point.

In-person at Array Space and online options are available.
Light refreshments will be served for in-person sessions, and attendees will be entered into a $200 gift card draw.

This series is supported by the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage’s Multiculturalism and Anti-Racism Program.

Register via the QR code on the poster or the link in bio.
Please share with someone who should be in the room.
