Humanitas Festival
"Humanitas is likely the most ambitious cultural project ever to be undertaken in Toronto. It is unquestionably the most exciting and far-reaching because it extends itself beyond the realm of culture and understands culture as the living habitat of the global citizen. It is a forum in which the global citizen accesses new ways of embracing the contemporary, always in reference to the experiment which is Toronto. It is where Toronto offers itself to the global community as an experiment in civility, as a unique historical icon, as a model for other cities in the area of sustainability and livability. For all its manifold aims, Humanitas is the hope of coherence in the urban discussion."
Pier Giorgio Di Cicco, City of Toronto Poet Laureate Curator, Humanitas
