Join Michael McMillan for a talk about his ongoing project, The Front Room, and celebrate the launch of The Front Room: Diaspora Migrant Aesthetics in the Home. Featured in the AGO exhibition Life Between Islands, McMillan’s installation, The Front Room: Inna Toronto/6ix, explores the ways that migrants expressed being Caribbean and becoming Canadian through the material things in their homes. 

Michael McMillan is a writer, playwright, artist/curator and scholar of Vincentian parentage. He guest curated the critically acclaimed The West Indian Front Room exhibition at the Geffrye Museum (2005-06), which was also iterated in Tate Britain’s Life Between Islands (2021-22) and is now a permanent 1970s period room at the Museum of the Home (formerly the Geffrye Museum).
