A building wide-exhibition of Danish artist Gudrun Hasle's work, spanning Harbourfront Centre's entire main building with pockets of messages throughout.
Displayed throughout Harbourfront Centre’s Artport building, written sentences appear in expected and unexpected places. The sentences deal with feelings of loneliness, unbelonging and reflections on what it feels like to be marginalized, all designed to create a safe space to spark conversation and connection.
Part of Harbourfront Centre’s CoMotion Festival.
