The vulnerability we need to find our voice is powerfully articulated in I can better explain this way. Concluding MANY for 2019, the exhibit presents the work of ten youth from Syria, Nigeria, Eritrea, Sudan, and Egypt. Demonstrating criticality, cautious optimism, and an activist spirit, the young artists explore how and why they are settling in Toronto as well as the challenges they are working through. 

In its second year, MANY is a media art creation program of ACCT and Charles Street Video that ran from July to October 2019. It reduces barriers to media art creation, supports youth with tailored workshops and one-on-one mentorship by culturally affiliated artists, and works towards promoting the capabilities that youth value. This project is supported through Toronto Arts Council Strategic Funding.
