Virtual exhibition curated by Nadia Tagoe,
In celebration of the Interpretive Centre's Fifth Anniversary.
What narratives have been carefully preserved by history, and what others have been erased? Postcards were once an incredibly convenient means of sending messages and capturing a memory of a landmark in time. Scene and Unseen invites you to bring to life the world behind postcards sent and collected in South Etobicoke, on display for the first time.
This exhibition was made possible by the contributions and creativity of Sarah LeFresne, Jennifer Bazar, and Tyler Andrews.
Then-and-Now New Toronto
