AGO Field Trip

We had an incredible visit to the AGO to see Sonia Boyce’s immersive exhibit, “Feeling Her Way.” Students learned about her work and participated in a drawing activity. Our amazing arts educator, Mahlikah, drew links between Boyce and Zak Ové’s stunning sculpture, Moko Jumbie. We even got a bonus tour of the Pacita Abad show!
