TMU Exhibition: Beyond the Wall Opening Reception

Join TMU DAS for the opening reception of their Beyond the Wall exhibit on Thursday, February 27. The exhibition will be on view until April 3, 2025.

Beyond the Wall records separation by design—the experience of facing oppressive walls and the ways that people transform them. When confined by a wall, fence, or barrier, we may feel alone, unable to see our experience as one in a series. Through a narrative sequence of case studies, the exhibit reveals parallels between seemingly disparate systems of control. Simultaneously, we are linked by the instinct to find a crack in the wall—a gap through which we can envision a different world or a different wall. This exhibition thus highlights the parallels between various citizen-led interventions that redefine the wall as a surface for self-expression, a shaper of gathering spaces, or something to be transgressed. Here, that effort is humanized and celebrated. The wall is a tool for both control and agency.
