The 52: Exhibition
Building on a multi-year research project, our newest exhibition will celebrate the lives of 52 women who have shaped Toronto as we know it.
Spanning from the 1800s until today, this exhibition shines a spotlight on the change-makers, agitators, and revolutionaries within Toronto’s 52%. While some of these women’s stories are well known, others have gone relatively untold until today.
See how many names you are familiar to you — step into their shoes, learn their stories and discover the ways they have transformed Toronto.
The 52: Stories of Women Who Transformed Toronto is curated across five themes: science, arts and culture, politics, sport, and civic life. To tell these stories, this exhibition features archival photographs, historic artifacts, and creative monologues written by 24 award-winning Canadian playwrights.
