Various locations in Stanley Park

100 art projects, twelve leading Canadian artists, sixteen universities and twenty national parks and historic sites come together this month to explore diverse perspectives and offer a legacy for the future.

­­Thirteen Emily Carr students and one alumnus will be showcasing their work as part of LandMarks 2017, a series of art projects that invites people to creatively explore their connection to Canada. This network of collaborative, contemporary art projects will be found in and around Canada’s National Parks and Historic Sites from June 10 – 25, 2017.

ECU involvement began earlier this Spring through the CCID 202/302 – LandMarks: On-Site course, which introduced students to a range of contemporary practitioners and critical perspectives in order to explore themes related to present-day environmental and climatic crises, the legacies of colonialism, and the complex relationship between nationhood and cultural identity.

ECU student and alumni work will be featured in Stanley Park on June 10 from 10am to 4pm.

LandMarks2017/Reperes2017 invites people to creatively explore and deepen their connection to the land through a series of contemporary art projects in and around Canada's National Parks and Historic Sites from June 10-25, 2017. LandMarks2017/Reperes2017 inspires dialogue about people, places and perspectives that have shaped our past and are vitaI to our futures.

Landmarks are meeting places, turning points, significant events, and features of the environment-both natural and cultural. In LandMarks2017/Reperes201 hey are conceived as trail markers made by many nations, creating a vast and rich network of experiences, and reflecting the diverse perspectives that comprise Canada.

A year-long, nationwide initiative, LandMarks2017/Reperes2017 brings together a team of acclaimed Canadian curators, contemporary artists and art students from 15 universities across the country. It is an open invitation for participation, with art works created in collaboration with local communities, actively engaging audiences to critically examine Canada at 150 while offering a legacy for the future.
