Description

This book documents the non-profit Evergreen’s public art program in Toronto’s Lower Don River Valley from 2017 through 2024. Twenty-five art and research projects commissioned and presented by Evergreen are reproduced here alongside new essays, interviews, roundtable discussions, and process images. Together the publication coheres current discussions on temporary, sustainable, collaborative, and site-responsive public art, and explores the role of artists in deepening our engagement with complex landscapes like the Don River.

Featured artists include Maria Hassabi, Will Kwan, Nadia Belerique, Maria Thereza Alves, Rita Letendre, Tannis Nielsen, Logan MacDonald, Joar Nango and Ken Are Bongo, Sandra Brewster, Sarah Davidson, and Ogimaa Mikana, among many others. With essays by David Garneau, Charlene K. Lau, Alexis Nanibush-Pamajewong, Aylan Couchie, Jacqueline L. Scott and Chris Mendoza. Roundtable and interview participants include Candice Hopkins, Dylan Robinson, Bonnie Devine, Wanda Nanibush, Susan Blight, Tannis Nielsen, Ryan Rice and more.
