“Media Pass” is an in-person and virtual group exhibition that aims to capture Toronto’s favourite concerts and festivals.
Curated by Imani Dominique and presented in Manifesto’s office, this photography-based exhibit brings together nine Toronto-based concert photographers: Alicia Reid, Anushay Sheikh, Connor Tadao (Flee Normality), Evie Maynes, Jet Bailey, Taija Grey (Jesusssister), Jershotyou, Kianna Sumitani, and woes.jpg .
Through vivid photography and a community video installation edited by Grace Munene, “Media Pass” will explore concert photography as an archival and community-based method for preserving cultural history. By bringing together a variety of emerging and mid-career artists, “Media Pass” hopes to create a community-filled, electric space celebrating the intersections of music and visual art.
“Media Pass” is curated by Imani Dominique Busby with production support from Sarah Itamah, Nkwachukwu Nwalozie, and Malaika Lorde. “Media Pass” is sponsored by Manifesto, Posterjack, and the TMU Student Initiatives Fund and Black Initiatives Fund.
