Whether you’re travelling through Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, or just in the neighbourhood, be sure to visit the airport’s latest art exhibit by photographer Ajani Charles. Located in the passenger terminal at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, Project T-Dot features 60-large scale photographic panels celebrating Toronto’s diverse Hip-Hop culture and community, making it the largest art installation ever at the airport.

Project T-Dot presents a definitive visual story that sheds new light on the city’s Hip-Hop scene and features instantly recognizable subjects such as Drake, The Weeknd, Director X, Kardinal Offishall, Jessie Reyez, Jully Black, Master T, Maestro Fresh Wes, and organizations like The Remix Project, Honey Jam, Manifesto Community Projects, October’s Very Own, and MuchMusic, among many others. Reflecting the diversity of the Hip-Hop subculture, the exhibit features members of the 2SLGBTQ+, Black, and Indigenous communities, women, youth from equity-deserving neighbourhoods, recent immigrants, and other marginalized groups.

The installation allows travellers the opportunity to engage with the cultural richness of the city as they pass through the airport, and it includes an interactive touchscreen where they can learn more about Toronto’s Hip-Hop culture, community, and history by exploring engaging supplementary information.

Thanks to our partners at Nieuport Aviation, Project T-Dot will be on display at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport for the duration of 2024. In keeping with the interactive nature of the exhibit, visitors are encouraged to share their own thoughts and experiences of the art on social media using the hashtag #projecttdot.
