A Making Room Community Arts Installation

Date

March 2019 — April 2019

Weaving Home is a community arts installation exploring the meaning of home through collective journeys and adventures: what we find along the way, what we leave behind, and our ability to create home wherever we end up. Created by Parkdale community members, in collaboration with artists through Making Room Community Arts, the installation presents a variety of cardboard way stations and bridges that tell stories of the choices, support, and memories of home that we carry within us.

Last month, the artists behind our current exhibit, Weaving Home invited the public to create their own art pieces to add to the exhibit. Together, guests collaborated to create a beautiful addition to the landscape of the exhibit which so elegantly expresses the momentary and ever-changing experience of creating “home.”

Check it out for yourself from the corner of Lansdowne and Seaforth Avenue, and join us for another Weaving Home community arts event here at the studio on July 4th from 6pm to 8pm!

This is community art-making that everyone can do. This event is free, and all ages are welcome!
