TBA Storytelling sessions combine modes of conventional interpretation with artist-led, narrative, and embodied responses to the artworks and artist projects. TBA 2026 offers tours, walks, talks and storytelling around Allison Glenn’s curatorial vision for the 2026 Biennial, Things Fall Apart, exploring rupture and extending waterways across borders. Storytellers will be on site for weekly drop-in sessions on Saturdays (+ 2 Sundays: October 18th and December 20th) between 12:30-4 pm at the Art Museum, University of Toronto.
Booked tours may be requested at learning@torontobiennial.org.
The weekend Storytelling program is co-developed with the Collaboratory for Black Poiēsis and the Art Museum at the University of Toronto.

Artist Bio
Yanaminah Thullah: Storyteller
Yanaminah Thullah is an award-winning curator, community builder, and researcher born and raised in Toronto, of Liberian and Sierra Leonean descent. Her practice approaches curation as knowledge production and relational practice, using storytelling, exhibitions, and cultural programming to explore belonging, underrepresented histories, and (dis)connection. With a background in International Studies and Modern Languages from the University of Ottawa, she is currently pursuing an MFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a Research Assistant at OCAD University. Her work explores migrant-diaspora relations within the Global Black context and centres marginalized voices through curatorial practice, research, and writing.
