Performing community garden,2019-2021, Live performance, plants, hand made paper.

documentation of process Performing Community Garden is a performative installation, including participation by members of the community. I stand in a public space wearing a dress that carries a number of plants. Each plant will have the name of a person. The names belong mostly to civilians who were lost or displaced through violent situations of various local communities. I also add names of survivors who have recently arrived in Canada. I position my body in a highly visible public space, it becomes a garden and then I invite people to take a plant with a name to care for, care for a stranger, for a plant.
