New Documentaries
Collective City Screened two new documentaries on Saturday May 16th, 2026 at the Revue Cinema in Toronto. They are now available on YouTube
WILL MUNRO
(AND AN ARMY OF LOVERS)
In work that drew heavily from punk, DIY aesthetics, queer history, textile and craft design, Will Munro treated culture itself as a medium.
This doc traces Munro’s art career, from his earliest days at OCAD to his last show, The. Cosmic Leather Daddy, before his passing of brain cancer at the age of 35.
Munro’s impact on Toronto’s art and queer communities continues to resonate well beyond his lifetime.
THE MAKING OF THE PLUMB
The plumb is a collective of artists, writers, and curators who, at the height of the COVID pandemic, met in Toronto parks to drink beer and talk candidly about the lack of supporting infrastructure in the city’s visual arts scene. Out of those conversations, the plumb gallery was born in September 2020.
The plumb describes its ethos as “responsive, quick-moving, and non-bureaucratic, operating with a commitment to anti-racism, inclusivity, and consensus-based collaboration.”
Gallery Project
Upcoming: Hannah Somers “The Music Sang ‘Lean On Me’”
In her exhibition The Music Sang ‘Lean on Me’, Hannah Somers investigates her own identity by returning to her roots, creating visual conversations between her mother and aunt, biracial twin sisters adopted into a white family in the 1960s and raised in Sarnia, Ontario. Through photography and video, Somers explores the circumstances of their upbringing and its effects on their racial and social identities, examining their role models, relationships, and experiences of visibility within a predominantly white community.
