e-fagia is a Toronto-based organization of artists and scholars whose mandate is to create, produce, and disseminate visual and media art projects with an emphasis on contemporary Canadian and Latin American artists, focusing on diversity. We provide space for artists’ visibility in the national and international communities, and have a trans-disciplinary approach towards the complexity of contemporary arts. The name of the
organization, e-fagia, stems from the latin word “phagia,” which means “to eat”
or consume ideas in order to transform them.
