Walking trip to explore and create community art
Montreal, Quebec
Starting Idea: Bronze urban walking trip to explore community art projects and building our own art project.
Walking through Montreal, Quebec, on a Bronze urban journey, our team is set to explore the city’s community art landscape. The journey is aimed at improving our travel skills, by combining walking and public transit, all while actively exploring local art installations. Through surveys and interviews with bystanders, our goal is to understand the community art projects and to build our own art project.
We will prepare for our QJ by practicing our mode of travel (walking & using public transit), visiting two local art installations, surveying 2 bystanders, setting up our accommodations and cooking a meal. During our PJ we research local art projects and start planning our own project to help us accomplish our QJ goal. At the end we will debrief the PJ with our AJ Supervisor and determine if any changes need to be made to our QJ plans.
As a team, we want to learn more about creating community art projects and what impact they have on communities. Over two days we will walk and use public transportation to visit 6 different community art installations and survey at least 3 bystanders at each location to learn more about the impact it has. We will stay overnight at our community centre and cook a meal for ourselves each day. By the end of our QJ we will debrief the experience together and have started the creation of a team mural at the community centre that will be finished no later than 14 days after our trip.
