The Unity Project

An interactive public art project consisting of 32 posts, each with identifiers such as, “I am a parent; I speak English as a second language; I identify as LGBTQ,” etc. Participants wind colourful yarn around posts that reflect their identities. Their yarn intertwines with others’ to create a web of interconnectedness.

An art piece inspired by an Indigenous tradition of processing loss. With the leadership of the Indigenous facilitator and garden coordinator, participants co-create a ribbon tree, where different statements intentionally created to support people in reflecting upon their lived experiences correspond with ribbon colours.
