Neighbourhood Trust is a collaborative, evolving project that examines the state of affordable housing in Toronto through the lens of those directly affected. Through a series of workshops and conversations, culminating in a public exhibition, artist Hiba Abdallah and a group of South Etobicoke community members will explore the effects of housing insecurity and collaboratively examine possible solutions that are grounded in lived experiences. Neighbourhood Trust seeks to expand the public conversation surrounding affordable housing by focusing on the perspectives of those who are materially impacted by these issues in South Etobicoke. The project aims to create a collective agency that investigates new ways of understanding, articulating, and imagining the neighbourhood we seek to foster. The project will encourage collaborators to challenge, interrogate, and respectfully reconsider who we deem an expert and why.

Neighbourhood Trust is an official exhibition for Myseum Intersections 2019 (Re)visionist Toronto and is presented in partnership with Daily Bread Food Bank.
