Why Support Us?

Supporting Mammalian Diving Reflex allows us to nurture the creation of new work in Toronto and throughout the world, to continue touring our concepts to communities across continents and to break down social barriers one unusual conversation at a time.

Our Impact

For the first time, sharing my experience with others has helped me become brave, and more importantly, unapologetically myself.

Youth Collaborator, Walk With Me While I Remember You (2022)

Mammalian Diving Reflex deserves a recognition that hasn’t been invented yet. They stand unparalleled as a company that makes work that overwhelms you with information without disarming you; that teases you into places you didn’t know were uncomfortable without hurting you; and that inspires you to take a damn-hard look at how hard it is to be a human.

Khristián Méndez Aguirre, Fusebox (2018)

It’s about trusting our future generation and understanding young people are capable of much more than we give them credit for.

Former Education Minister Chris Burns, Darwin (2012)

Nothing seems impossible. I did so many things I thought I would never do.

Teentalitarianism Participant, Duisberg (2016)
