Peace Taxi was an art project that presented site-specific artworks inside and around Toronto taxis for the month of August 2003 while incubating cross-cultural conversations about race, public space and labour in the aftermath of the attacks on 11 September 2001. This collection highlights those artistic interventions while offering resources for those interested in studying more about the history of taxi work in Toronto and artistic responses to 9/11 more broadly.
