The Future of Canada Show
Wednesday, August 28, 2024 -- Sunday, September 22, 2024, 1100 - 1700
In 2023, amid social and environmental crises and a barrage of bad news in the mainstream media, the Future of Canada Show was conceived to create a platform for positivity and a counter-narrative which centers joy, wellbeing, and healing. By collapsing distance in space and time, we invited artists from every province and territory to imagine Canada in 2080 in a scenario where 'we get everything right'.
To collect these visions, between September 2023 and March 2024 we traveled to visit schools from Corner Brook, NL to Whitehorse, YK, engaging students in discussions relating to climate and nature, quality of life, interpersonal relationships and equitable institutions. These discussions were elaborated through an art practice. Students had the choice of expressing their positive visions of the future through drawing, sketching, painting or poetry.
This exhibit was curated to inspire and inform, inviting visitors into a conversation about what could be. More information about the project can be found at futurecanada.org
The creative team is grateful to McMaster University's Future of Canada Project for sponsoring our yearlong public scholarship project and this show.
