wayfinding // wandering
co-created with Matthew Ariaratnam
2018
Using the senses as a guide, Julie Hammond and Matthew Ariaratnam invited South Vancouver residents to get curious about the spaces between and within Sunset Community Centre, Sunset Ice Rink, and Moberly Arts & Cultural Centre. Through 20+ public events - including pop-ups, sensory walks, and workshops - and near-weekly singing with the Wednesday karaoke group, we gently investigated how spaces shape us as individuals and as a community. This project used a de- and re-skilled approach to creating physical and ephemeral artworks, and made space for participants of varying ages and languages. Together we walked, played, listened, saw, read, touched, smelled, tasted and shared.
Project dates: January - December 2018
