“Artists create installations and soundscapes under Gardiner Expressway to honour and celebrate those who lived homeless under T.O. bridge – in partnership with The Bentway.

Reconstructions of Home is a multi-sited progression of audio and visual installations under the Gardiner Expressway through which artists examine the tensions and violence of displacements, while honouring and celebrating the experiences of joy and community, of those who have survived homelessness under bridges in Toronto.

Artist Ry King creates a soundscape of stories and recollections from homeless community members as the backbone to understanding the hidden histories of Toronto’s homeless culture and frames the ongoing conflict between the city and displacements of these communities. Collected stories will create audio files later to be mixed and synthesized into a cohesive soundscape for the Bentway installations.

This project is produced in partnership with The Bentway.
