Naretiv Productions Launches Into The Ward
In 2015 an archeological dig led by Infrastructure Ontario unearthed tens of thousands of objects that attest to the histories of Toronto's first multicultural immigrant neighbourhood. Before St. John's Ward was demolished in the mid-20th century, it was home to the city's first Chinatown and the endpoint of the Underground Railway.
By 3D scanning some of these unearthed projects and intervening with them through virtual and cinematic artistic creation, Toronto-based artists Lia Tarachansky and Dr. Mary Bunch “return” these objects looking at thousands of years of unearthed histories. Into The Ward then combines these interventions into an emplaced Augmented Reality and short-film exhibition at the site of the former St. John’s Ward, today known as Nathan Phillips Square.
