2025 Vico Lecture: The Block by Block Project: Activating Memories of Migration, Settlement and Community Life in Four Toronto Neighbourhoods
The annual Vico lecture promotes themes of city-building, urban development, and cultural evolution, and Toronto and its outskirts have been shaped by immigration. The series features speakers whose work address principles related to how immigrant and minority groups have affected the development of the Greater Toronto Area, including via culture, labour, business, and more. The Vico lecture honours the cultural and historic contributions of minority communities to civil society and the development of urban space.
Co-developed by ten community partners and involving over 100 storytellers, the Toronto Ward Museum’s Block by Block Project preserved and activated community memories in four rapidly changing Toronto neighbourhoods.
