FUTURE MARKERS
2016
gallery installation + on-site installation
A time capsule in reverse, a love letter of hopes, dreams, and fears created with Grade 6 & 7 students at Lord Strathcona Elementary School.
We take a walk. We find markers—plaques, statues, mosaics, murals—depicting events, buildings, and people. We listen to the stories of the city. We think of the future, our selves, our city. We imagine our selves and our city and wonder if future dreams will alter the actions and stories in the present. FUTURE MARKERS was also shared as a community walk with cake and performances on May 15, 2016.
