Presenting artists include:
- is a visual artist based in Montreal with a playful practice that combines storytelling, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, performance, installation and microactivism. Her work investigates how people perceive, create and maintain their notions of self through behaviour and visual cues and is an ever-shifting visual mashup of British, Trinidadian and adopted Canadian cultural traditions.
- is an interdisciplinary visual artist whose work draws attention to human-environmental relationalities. Lurch’s paintings and sculptures are conversations on infrastructures and the spaces and places we inhabit.
- works across new media, street art and digital design. He is a founding member of mural collective MRLTM and new media collective Gathering.
Your feedback will provide input that can help shape the final designs that will be shared with the ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ community later in February for voting. Please register for the event and participate to hear more about this project and each artists’ vision for this important public art installation.
