Theatre Passe Muraille – open gallery – 16 Ryerson Ave, Toronto

open gallery to 9pm

In an era where physical spaces are becoming unaffordable, artists face a critical question: Where can they showcase their work? 

Sandwich Board Hall is a digital showcase of an imaginary, surreal arts venue – A way to brainstorm how future artists may adopt new technologies in the face of the loss of urban spaces. The exhibit will be a tour of an arts venue that “almost exists.”

This event is FREE and open to all!

About the artist

Lorena Torres Loaiza

Lorena Torres Loaiza was born in Bogota, Colombia, and grew up in Canada. She works in comics, illustration, theatre design, and fiction, sometimes crossing artistic disciplines within a single project. Her work often has a quirky visual style, neon colours, and speculative elements. Within storytelling, she’s interested in flawed characters solving problems and in very stubborn optimism.

Currently, Lorena is working on a series of storytelling experimental performances, developing a VR arts venue, and writing some genre fiction. She can be found @lorenatorresloaiza on Instagram and Bluesky.
