The New York Times has announced collaborations with two Toronto initiatives.
Luminato and the New York Times have collaborated to bring the acclaimed TimesTalks series to Canada for the first time at this year's Luminato Festival. The series features live conversations between New York Times journalists and today's cutting-edge thinkers. Past conversations have included Stephen King, Yoko Ono, Denzel Washington, with interviews conducted by Thomas Friedman, David Carr and more.
Taking place in June, the TimesTalks Luminato will feature the North American premiere of "experimental opera" The Life and Death of Marina Abramovic. This Friday, the performance artist will be speaking at the sold-out TimesTalks at TheTimesCentre, which is being produced in collaboration with the Luminato festival.
“This collaboration with The New York Times will allow us to tell the story of the artistic premieres and creations presented by Luminato to the most ardent arts consumers in the world -- the readers of The New York Times. It is a transformative opportunity for the Festival to share our program through The New York Times, to both arts lovers who will travel to Toronto to see the work and those who will enjoy it through the online streaming option," said Janice Price, CEO of Luminato, in a press release.
Next, remember that
HIGHRISE interactive documentary we featured in January? Produced in collaboration with the National Film Board of Canada, the HIGHRISE project is an interactive series that explores high-rise living.
The New York Times Opinions Pages announced the publication will collaborate with the NFB to create four short documentaries as part of the series to explore "the history and future of high-rise buildings in relationship to issues of equity, segregation and social responsibility in cities around the world."
