Presented by the University of Toronto Scarborough’s FLOURISH Research Cluster…
Through a discussion of Myers’ recent multi-media artwork, “Overture for Sterling Road,” comprised of a lightbox photo work and related audio and augmented reality walk, artist, educator Lisa Myers and urban studies scholar Heather Dorries will consider relational conceptions of land not evident in urban development and planning. The talk will consider how Myers’ work questions current predatory real estate practices and celebratory consumerism as facets of ongoing colonialism, and encourages viewers to imagine alternate relationships to place.
About the FLOURISH Research Cluster
FLOURISH supports the development of community-engaged arts-wellness initiatives across Scarborough and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In partnership with locally-engaged organizations we seek to produce meaningful evidence that reflects how high-quality arts experiences—in multiple forms, venues and roles—catalyze interactions crucial to social wellness.
