The top free things to do in Toronto this week will take you around the world without leaving the city. There's a cool photography show at 401 Richmond about the United Arab Emirates coastline, a Samurai film screening, and a David Bowie tribute show to take you to another planet completely.
Events you might want to check out:Trampoline Hall Podcast Launch Party (January 9 @ The Garrison)
After 15 years of consistently sold-out shows every month in bars in Toronto (and occasionally elsewhere), the Trampoline Hall Lecture series will be available as a podcast. This is a free party to launch it with host Misha Glouberman.
David Bowie Tribute (January 10 @ The Piston)
It's been one year since Davie Bowie passed away. This edition of Indie Night will be a celebration of his spirit. 15 acts will be performing over 30 of his greatest songs. Doors open at 8 p.m. and as always, there's no cover.
Gimme Shelter Screening (January 10 @ Toronto Reference Library)
This landmark documentary follows the Rolling Stones on their notorious 1969 U.S. tour when 300,000 members of the love generation collided with a few dozen Hells Angels at San Francisco's Altamont Speedway. It was all captured on film and immortalized in this epic doc.
The Edge (January 12 - February 4 @ Circuit Gallery)
Circuit Gallery at 401 Richmond presents an exhibition of ten large-scale photographs by Philip Cheung from "The Edge," a new project that follows the 1300 kilometre coastline of the United Arab Emirates looking at the region's rapid development and transformation.
A Tale of Samurai Cooking (January 15 @ Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema)
Part of the Japan Foundations's free film series at Hot Docs, this movie about a stoic warrior who longs for his far-away family, and finds surprising companionship in a kidnapped cat is a hilarious and heartwarming tale. Get there 30 minutes before doors open at 1 p.m. to make sure you get a seat.
