Toronto-based illustrator and muralist Caitlin Taguibao brings the city to life with Make the World Go Round, a striking signature mural installation that wraps the columns of the Bentway Skate Trail, immersing viewers in the iconic sights and scenes of the Toronto that we know and love. A vibrant tribute to the diversity of experiences that make Toronto great, this newly commissioned mural will offer fans a lasting impression as they leave the festival.
Toronto-based illustrator and muralist Caitlin Taguibao brings the city to life with Make the World Go Round, a vibrant mural installation wrapping the columns of the Bentway Skate Trail. The artwork unfolds as a flowing portrait of life in the city featuring people dancing, skating along the trail, sharing food, playing sports, and gathering near the lake.
Everyday city scenes merge magically with moments of fandom: jerseys appear in a crowd, faces are painted, costumes add colour and joy. Together, these figures reflect how Toronto celebrates—through play, culture, and connection—carrying the spirit of gathering well beyond the festival itself.
L’illustratrice et muraliste torontoise Caitlin Taguibao donne vie à la ville avec Make the World Go Round, une installation murale vibrante qui habille les colonnes du Bentway Skate Trail. L’œuvre se déploie comme un portrait fluide de la vie urbaine, mettant en scène des personnes dansant, patinant le long du sentier, partageant des repas, pratiquant des sports et se rassemblant près du lac.
Des scènes de la vie urbaine se mêlent avec magie à des moments de ferveur sportive : maillots émergeant dans la foule, visages peints, costumes apportant couleur et joie. Ensemble, ces figures reflètent la manière dont Toronto célèbre – par le jeu, la culture et le lien social –, prolongeant cet esprit de rassemblement bien au-delà du festival lui-même.
