‘Connected In Chaos'
(Richmond Underpass Community Arts Project)
We have launched a 13 week digital community arts program (June 2020-September 2020) and co-created 13 mural panels telling the story of our times (2020's Global Pandemic) and our stories of adapting and belonging in the Community of London Ontario.
The project involved over 160 participants and over 18 community organizations reaching out to multiple demographics with a connection to London Ontario. Community members were invited to share stories and to create art weekly gradually contributing to the creation of the 13 digital mural panels.
The panels were printed and installed in the Richmond Underpass between York Street and Horton Street in London Ontario.
