i am participating as a creative collaborator in this installation
by Thom Sokoloski & Jenny-Anne McCowan
Fort York, Toronto, june 8 - 24
open 7:30pm - 11pm each evening
commissioned the Luminato Festival
"Conceived as a “temporal village”
marking the bicentennial of the war of 1812,
The Encampment
comprises 200 A-frame tents pitched on the grounds of FortYork,
which
fell to U.S. forces during the war.
Each tent contains an installation
by one of
100 artistic collaborators who have created a visual
representation
of an aspect of the war’s civilian history,
gleaned from
research into real-life stories
of family, love, loss, survival,
patriotism, collaboration and betrayal."
My civilians include:
Mary Jones Gage
Owner of the Battlefield House, Stoney Creek Ontario
(tent #133)
&
Paul Jennings
(15 year-old slave to James Madison, president of the United States 1813)
(tent # 131)
come see!!
