Our AGO Friday Nights performance series includes great moments From the Archives and AGO Home Stage. Here's your chance to enjoy this archival video capturing Peaches' talk at the AGO, followed by a Q&A with Bojana Stancic, Assistant Curator, Live Projects & Performance.

In the not-too-distant past, we had the exceptional privilege to host the internationally renowned, Toronto-born artist Peaches. In October 2017, Peaches graced us (and a packed house of some 600 visitors in Walker Court) with one of her unforgettable live shows. And, as part of the Inspiration is a Monster talk series, she sat down for a conversation with her friend and colleague Sook-Yin Lee. As one of our favourite memories of all time, we are posting the audio recording of that talk and we're lucky to be able to do a quarantine check-in with Peaches herself.

An iconic feminist musician, producer, director and performance artist, Peaches has spent nearly two decades pushing boundaries and wielding immeasurable influence over mainstream pop culture from outside of its confines, carving a bold, sexually progressive path in her own image that's opened the door for countless others to follow. She’s collaborated with everyone from Iggy Pop and Daft Punk to Kim Gordon and Major Lazer, had her music featured cultural landmarks like Lost In Translation, The Handmaid's Tale, and Broad City, among others. Her work is studied at universities around the world. Listen to her now on Spotify.
