Over the course of 5 weeks, artist-in-residence Ronnie Cheng has completed “Euphoric Refractions.” The piece was created with the support of passersby on the street directly outside the front door of CommunityWise Resource Centre, who were provided a simple prompt: “what brings you joy?” With this prompt, participants had the opportunity to add to a large fabric mural, which was then used to create animated visuals that were projection mapped onto the fabric.
“Euphoric Refractions” was created in response to the challenges of QTBIPOC life in an attempt to highlight both the political and life-changing powers of joy.
The piece will be available for public viewing in the building lobby from 10am to 5pm daily, starting on October 7 until October 11.
