UNEARTHED:
A Walk in the Park with a Twist
Curated by Erin Sutherland, Dorit Naaman, and Laura Murray, Unearthed is a series of artistic installations/conversations/experiments seeking to reveal or imagine some of the stories of Be...lle Park. From August 26-30 2023, six artists will bring diverse perspectives to connect the history of the park with contemporary social and environmental concerns and experiences. They will help us think about way-finding, home, identity, play, plants, and the land we stand on. Unearthed is a walk in the park with a twist.
Artists Cheryl L’Hirondelle, Vince Ha, Noah Scheinman, Elyse Longair and Evalyn Parry will activate spaces in Belle Park on various days throughout the week through music, performance, geocaching, and temporary installations. An exhibition at the Art & Media Lab at the Isabel Bader Centre will run concurrently, showing work by Jung-Ah Kim, Elyse Longair, and Vince Ha. Together, the art in the gallery and in the park will suggest ways of engaging with this rich space with an uncertain future. show more
