The project culminated in a multimedia performance at the Gibson House Museum’s Fall Fair, as part of our Highway 11 project. Our work at this historic house was made possible through the Toronto Arts Council’s Animating Historic Sites program.

“Nature. Beautiful. Breathtaking. My hope for my neighbourhood is that it never gets polluted in at least the future, and at least, somebody like Prime Minister, Trudeau or something just changes the whole world to making every single thing electric.”
