Raptors Fever is a group exhibition that reveals several perspectives on the way the viewing public processes sports victories en masse. Canadians in Toronto responded to the unlikely win of the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA championship with a show of appreciation and civic pride rarely seen in the city. No matter the cause, it was a phenomenon rare enough that the artists felt it critical to document for future viewers.
