For something a bit different for this Good Friday, today’s photos are of Bimose Agaming/Walk Along the Lake, a public art project showcasing the work of a number of Indigenous artists on electrical boxes at Spencer Smith Park. If you haven’t seen them and you’ve got the day off, why not get outside and enjoy some art?
You can walk the route taken during the spring celebration event last month, a well-attended event featuring local resident WhiteEagle Stonefish leading the group in setting intentions, a ceremonial fire, the walk itself, and the ribbon-cutting by Mayor Marianne Meed Ward and the artist David General of his beautiful large-scale granite sculpture, entitled Conversations and Stories, which now stands outside of the Joseph Brant Museum.
Begin from the eastern end of the lakeside path at Spencer Smith Park, travel west and then up to the orange crosswalk that honours the Indigenous victims of residential school and their families. Continue on to Joseph Brant Museum to enjoy General’s magnificent work.
