Diatomic States by Perspective Collective, Dylan Alsop, Elle Morris and James Jordan, 2024

This weekend, Toronto will be transformed by Nuit Blanche, the free, all-night celebration of contemporary art, returning for its nineteenth edition. From 7pm Saturday, October 4 to 7am Sunday, October 5, more than 80 projects by over 200 artists will take over and animate spaces across the city.

Translating the City

Envisioned by Artistic Director Laura Nanni, this year’s theme, Translating the City, invites you to explore how art interprets, decodes and reshapes urban life. In a city where more than 200 languages are spoken, artists consider how communication happens not only through words, but also through images, sound, gesture and collective experience.
