Here, Together, Always

Pride Toronto and Stackt Market: 2025.

In celebration of Pride Toronto 2025’s “All In” theme, this installation asserts the presence of queer and trans people in public space. Here, Together, Always, serves as a reminder that the LGBTQ+ community will persevere and thrive within a society that aims to oppress our identities and bodies. The figures stand individually, yet placed in context of one another. For this project I issued a call for submissions from local, Toronto-based performers and creatives to be photographed, and then painted for the project. I was interested in including some of the people who make the queer and trans community vibrant and multidimensional. The installation aims to transform public space into a site of belonging, reminding us that Pride is more than a celebration, it is community in action.
