The Exhibit

When the city sleeps, Toronto comes alive in unexpected ways. Award-winning photographer Nadya Kwandibens captures the hidden world of the people who keep our city running through the night - transit workers, healthcare staff, entertainers, and countless others whose stories are rarely acknowledged.


This striking city-wide photography exhibition appears across the TTC and beyond, transforming your daily commute into an encounter with Toronto's nocturnal heartbeat. Through Kwandibens' lens, we meet the real people behind the jobs that make urban life possible. 


Celebrate Night/Shifts in The Philosophers Gallery as part of ROM After Dark: Summer Solstice (June 13, 2025 from 7:30-11pm)—an electrifying celebration packed with live performances, high-energy DJ sets, activations from the ROM Indigenous Learning Team, and a dance floor pulsing with summer vibes. Plus, enjoy full access to the museum's galleries and the special exhibition Nature in Brilliant Colour.
