So happy to announce I’ll be living a personal dream and hosting a pair of walking tours for Heritage Toronto this summer – and you’re invited !
Entitled “Monumental: Fifty years of Creative Memory Activism in Toronto,” aka Monumental Interventions Tour, this tour looks at a half century of artist and community led engagements with, and creative resistance to, public forms of memory in Toronto. From painting statues, to floating them down the Don River, to celebrating Indigenous languages and presence in the urban environment, participants will hear how these artistic interventions represent significant forms of cultural production, storytelling, and acts of care for all people who call this land home.
The tour will also draw on my dissertation research into the role of movement as an interventionist practice of public history and my critical interest in monuments, plaques, place names and other forms of mnemonic infrastructure.
Tours will take place on Sunday, May 12th from 11:00-12:30PM and on Saturday, August 10 at 3PM
The cost to attend is $9.85 /per person. More information and tickets are available through the Heritage Toronto Website.
