Is Meetup free to use for culture activities?

You can use Meetup for free to find and RSVP for events. Some groups or events may charge fees for participation, but listings will specify any costs involved.

Do I need to RSVP for Toronto events?

RSVPing is important for many events to ensure the organizers can manage attendance. You can easily RSVP on the Meetup event page for any Toronto cultural gatherings.

How does Meetup connect people in Toronto?

What types of arts groups exist in Toronto?

Toronto's arts groups on Meetup cover a wide range of interests, from dance to digital arts. You can find niche or broad interest communities to suit your preferences.

Can Meetup guarantee a group for my passion?

Meetup provides many opportunities but can't guarantee specific interests will always have existing groups. Explore and be willing to start a new one!

Are culture events well-organized?

Events are primarily organized by group hosts, not Meetup itself. This means organizer experience can vary, usually reflected in event reviews.

What if my interest isn't popular in Toronto?

If an interest isn’t widely represented, you might want to start your own group to connect with others in Toronto who share your cultural passion.

Is there an app for finding events?

Yes, Meetup has a mobile app that lets users discover and join groups or events in Toronto at their convenience.

Sinister, Somber, Serene: The Aesthetic of Places & The Normative Landscape

Wed, Sep 23, 4:00 PM

From The Toronto Philosophy Meetup

4.7

In this talk, I explore ways that the aesthetic character of places (inviting, strange, threatening, familiar, comforting, creepy, seedy, sinister, somber, serene, etc.) can impact moral, prudential, and political norms that operate in those spaces. This will in turn lead to questions about how we should approach our power to shape the aesthetic character of places. Erich Matthes https://www.wellesley.edu/people/erich-matthes Professor Department of Philosophy Wellesley College **About the Speaker:** My primary research interests concern the ethics, politics, and aesthetics of cultural heritage, art, and the environment. I have [published papers](https://philpapers.org/profile/28417) on topics including repatriation, historic preservation, landscape art, cultural appropriation, irreplaceability, authenticity, place-loss due to climate change, and the value of history and heritage. My second book, *[What to Save and Why: Identity, Authenticity, and the Ethics of Conservation](https://global.oup.com/academic/product/what-to-save-and-why-9780197744550?cc=us&lang=en)* was published by Oxford University Press in September 2024. It's about the ethics of conserving and preserving things, from heirlooms to artworks, traditions to landscapes. I've also written about the problem of immoral artists: what should we do, think, and feel when artists whom we love do or say objectionable things? My first book, *[Drawing the Line: What to Do with the Work of Immoral Artists from Museums to the Movies](https://global.oup.com/academic/product/drawing-the-line-9780197537572?cc=us&lang=en&),* tackles these questions, and was published by Oxford University Press in 2022. **\* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \* \*** This is a talk with audience Q&A presented by the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics that is free to attend and open to the public. Free pizza and refreshments will be provided at the event. The talk will also be streamed online with live chat here [to be posted]. About the Centre for Ethics (http://ethics.utoronto.ca): The Centre for Ethics is an interdisciplinary centre aimed at advancing research and teaching in the field of ethics, broadly defined. The Centre seeks to bring together the theoretical and practical knowledge of diverse scholars, students, public servants and social leaders in order to increase understanding of the ethical dimensions of individual, social, and political life. In pursuit of its interdisciplinary mission, the Centre fosters lines of inquiry such as (1) foundations of ethics, which encompasses the history of ethics and core concepts in the philosophical study of ethics; (2) ethics in action, which relates theory to practice in key domains of social life, including bioethics, business ethics, and ethics in the public sphere; and (3) ethics in translation, which draws upon the rich multiculturalism of the City of Toronto and addresses the ethics of multicultural societies, ethical discourse across religious and cultural boundaries, and the ethics of international society. The Ethics of A.I. Lab at the Centre For Ethics recently appeared on a list of 10 organizations leading the way in ethical A.I.: https://ocean.sagepub.com/blog/10-organizations-leading-the-way-in-ethical-ai

ROTMAN Talk: Prof. Daron Acemoglu- "What Happened to Liberal Democracy?" ($25)

Tue, Sep 29, 9:00 PM

From TORONTO ARTS & CULTURE

4.6

### **Book Synopsis:** **From Daron Acemoglu, 2024 Nobel laureate in economics and coauthor of *Why Nations Fail,* an ambitious and expansive inquiry into the biggest story in global politics over the last hundred years: the rise and fall of liberal democracy.** **"A very important work and a must-read."** —Thomas Piketty, #1 *New York Times* bestselling author of *Capital in the Twenty-First Century* **Tickets are $25 only (or with book $44). LINK below.** **"Daron Acemoglu is one of the most brilliant and insightful thinkers I’ve ever known. His particular genius is being able to look at impossibly complex problems and see right to the heart of what matters. This book is a tour de force that left me feeling more optimistic about the future than I have in a long time."** —Steven Levitt, #1 *New York Times* bestselling author of *Freakonomics* The dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 raised hopes that we were one step closer to the triumph of liberalism. Soon, many predicted, we would all be living in functional liberal democracies. Sustained economic growth would benefit all segments of society and war would be a relic of the past. A generation later, one can only ask: What happened? **Nobel laureate Daron Acemoglu** argues in this powerful book that liberal democracy flourished when it pursued its core promises of shared prosperity, democratic governance, and the free pursuit of knowledge. But liberalism, a philosophy built to challenge power, never fully adjusted to becoming the establishment. Nor was it able to deal with the economic and social disruptions that digital technologies wrought. Worse, in the postindustrial economy, liberalism turned its back on its core promises. As a segment of college-educated elites became politically dominant and separated from the rest of society, they sowed the seeds of widespread inequality while intensifying efforts to reshape mass culture and values. **Ticket link** (mostly sold-out)-- https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/news-events-and-ideas/public-events/events-listings/2026/september-2026/sept-29-daron-acemoglu/ (Note: these ROTMAN Author Talks start promptly at 5:30pm, and finish at 6:30pm.

They will teach you how to handle conversations in situations such as **"Going to the Convenience Store"**, **"Making Plans"**, **"Negotiating Prices"**, and **"Going out for a Drink"**. To ensure that students get used to using the language automatically, students will learn to maintain contextual conversations with timing before moving on to the next lesson.

Their album *Echoes of the Mountains* charts a journey across continents and through the ages, delivered with mastery and warmth. **More info and sounds:** https://centredesmusiciensdumonde.com/en/portfolio/duo-perse-inca_en/ **TICKET link for September 26th**--(will SELL-OUT) https://www.alliance-francaise.ca/en/art/cultural-season/concerts/311-duo-perse-inca
