Welcome to the working group EMILIA–AMALIA, who begins its Artist-in-Residency at the Gallery today.

Toronto-based EMILIA-AMALIA was initiated by Cecilia Berkovic, Yaniya Lee, Annie MacDonell, Gabrielle Moser, Zinnia Naqvi, Leila Timmins, and cheyanne turions.

The three-month residency will explore the relationships between artists, curators and writers with related activities, including the production of a set of chapbooks, interventions into the AGO’s library, a free public screening, and guest residencies by emerging feminist artists Oreka James, Camille Rojas, and Shellie Zhang.

The AGO’s Artist-in-Residence Program is the first of its kind at a major Canadian art institution. The program engages with the art community directly while creating an experience for visitors that is intimate and unique.
