Participants drawing in chalk at 94 Chestnut at the Crossroads by Anique Jordan, 2023 Heritage Toronto Public History Award nominee.
Description
Artist Anique Jordan visited the site of "94 Chestnut at the Crossroads" every single day for weeks with new groups of people. Eventually government officials and residents who lived in the condos and worked in the offices overlooking the wall began joining her. Outside, on the pavement in front of the barred excavation site they staged teach ins to talk about the connections between the history of this location and the public's modern inability to access it.
