Third intervention

We are inviting adult participants to an art & design call for ideas as part of the research : Imaging a Sense of Place and Community conducted by Ph.D. candidate Elsy Zavarce to explore the spatial politics of urban changes, focusing on the discursive, social, material, and cultural specificities of Griffintown.

The study examines how Socially Engaged Art (SEA) can help develop a sense of community and place through interventions. 

The researcher invites participants to examine the significance of the Horse Palace Land and explore the site's sensoriality, material, historical, political, and social significance.

Learning about the neighbourhood may bring a sense of belonging, connecting to the material and social significance of the site, and sharing ideas about the future of GRIFFINTOWN and the Horse Palace Land can lead to a social connection and a sense of community.

You will also be invited to participate in an optional info sessions and collective urban mapping workshops. You will be invited to document your thoughts and experience through note-taking, videos, and photography. In addition, you will be asked to share your art /proposal/designs in an online exhibition, with the possibility of an in-person display at Fonderie Darling.
