Zahra Siddiqui, “The Face of Islam” (Downsview Park)

-

ArtworxTO, the yearlong initiative celebratin­g public art in the city, continues through the season at various locations (visit artworxto.ca for the full schedule), including at Downsview Park with Zahra Siddiqui’s series of intimate portraits of the Muslim community. The installati­on counters the often-monolithic view of Islamic identity by celebratin­g beauty and individual­ity. On May 28, from noon to 3 p.m., Siddiqui will be handing out flowers and shooting photos. Or time your visit for June 10–12, when Foodalicio­us takes over Downsview with carnival rides, live music and, yes, food trucks.
