Toronto is currently ranked as one of the most ‘livable’ cities in the world, and many established and emerging creatives call the city home. But in a place formerly (and sometimes still) known as the “Screwface Capital”, how do artists who exist on the margins create work and build community amidst rising rents and closing venues? Whose City Is It Anyways? explores the challenges, lessons learned and beauty of pursuing artistic passions in Toronto. It highlights the strength of communities that fight to exist against the constant pressures of a rapidly changing city.
