A multi-sited audio-visual walking tour is now on exhibition under the Gardiner Expressway.
Following the year-long collaboration between The Bentway and SKETCH Working Arts, the Reconstructions of Home public art project continues with an audio-visual tour, a wandering, which leads visitors through a series of perspectives of those with lived experiences of homelessness/houselessness. Each site on the tour emphasises such themes as recognition, creativity, care, community, and connection.
a wandering features the vibrant contributions of Toronto’s homeless community to the culture and development in the city, while highlighting the unresolvable tensions of navigating constant displacement, along with the societally-imposed stigma and barriers associated with homelessness or houselessness. Reconstructions of Home aims to shine a light on the resilience and creativity of these important neighbours and members in Toronto communities.
Co-presented with SKETCH Working Arts.
