The Art of Inclusion Digital Art Collection

Experience the magic of the Art of Inclusion, which unlocks the unique cinematographic perspectives of 14 budding Muslim Canadian filmmakers. Aged 15-30, each creator captivates Nuit Blanche Toronto with their unique take on inclusion in the age of rising xenophobia. Their pieces open a deeply personal window into the complexities of identity through an existential meditation on diversity that inspires hope in a world fractured by the forces of hate, terror and division.

With the theme “Combating Hate, Advancing Inclusion”, the installation invites each visitor to use the long-focus of humanism and societal responsibility and to cast out clichés hindering the progress of inclusion across all communities in Canada.

Led by the Michaëlle Jean Foundation, the Vancouver Foundation, the Silk Road Institute & National Council for Canadian Muslims, the project is supported by a number of organizations across Canada, including the Edmonton, Winnipeg and Oakville community foundations.
