Celebrating the young people of the Rexdale & Regent Park neighbourhoods
Through the City of Toronto’s ShowLoveTO Initiative, Yasin Osman & Jamal Burger present ‘Inside Out’ in partnership with Nia Centre for the Arts.
Inspired by French artist JR’s project by the same name, this public art project transforms two community spaces, in Rexdale and Regent Park, into an impressive collection of portraits through large scale projection. This project captures the energy and potential of young people from our city challenging audiences to see their humanity beyond the narrow limitations of ‘neighbourhood affiliations’— symbolizing a unified Toronto.
