Happy #NuitBlanche weekend, Toronto! 

Next week on Tuesday 7 October, as part of Nuit Blanche programming, we'll be hosting "Archives 101".

Discover how history, policy and creativity can intersect. Come for a free workshop introducing you to the fundamentals of archival research and how Toronto’s documentary history—including City by-laws—reflects civic life and decision-making. It offers researchers, artists and curious citizens insight into how historical records can inform creative approaches to civic space and governance. This workshop connects with Future Perfect by Mia + Eric & Action Hero,⁠ an artwork that reimagines municipal by-laws as poetic prompts for alternative ways of living together.

Free!

October 7, 2025 at 2 p.m. - 4 p.m.

Reservation required. Please email: archivesoutreach@toronto.ca
