In Conversation with Margaret Atwood & Adrienne Clarkson

Adrienne Clarkson

Two trailblazing voices. One unforgettable evening.

Women have always shaped Toronto and the world, through their art, intellect, and activism. This December, two of Canada’s most influential figures, Margaret Atwood and Adrienne Clarkson, come together for a rare and intimate conversation at the Museum of Toronto.

Atwood, the globally acclaimed author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments, and Clarkson, Canada’s 26th Governor General and a lifelong advocate for art, culture, and inclusion, share a decades-long friendship rooted in storytelling and civic vision. Their discussion will reflect on women’s histories, literature, and the future of cultural leadership, offering wit, insight, and reflection from two icons whose influence continues to shape Canada and beyond.

Join us for this special evening of ideas, laughter, and reflection from two trailblazing voices whose influence continues to shape Canada and beyond
