Natalie Laura King's "As the Flowers Return"

Accès

À propos

Natalie Laura King will lead a collaborative drawing installation on Toronto’s waterfront. "As the flower returns" invites pedestrians and visitors to walk among spirits, plants, and animals native to this shoreline, and to contribute to these images themselves. King’s drawings will expand across HTO Park's sidewalks like an ecology of memory — filled with bees, loons, and figures that blend with petals, rivers, and wings. The design reflects Anishinaabe knowledge systems and queer ways of seeing, making the sidewalk a place of story, beauty, and shared grounding. On-site, visitors will be invited to contribute to portions of the drawing. Each section will be guided by the energy of what grows here — what has always been here.

Produced in partnership with Toronto’s Waterfront BIA.

This program is part of the Ontario Culture Days 2025 Creatives in Residence series.

Organisateur

Ontario Culture Days

Ontario Culture Days is a not-for-profit organization that celebrates artists and cultural groups in our communities.

The Ontario Culture Days Festival is an annual celebration of arts, culture and heritage taking place each fall across the province. Each year, we work with organizers of all disciplines to produce this province-wide festival. Organizers host programs throughout Ontario and invite the public to participate for free.

Ontario Culture Days lives at the local level. We support organizers from the smallest hamlets to the largest cities, while coordinating with other national and provincial Culture Days partners. We support the success of our sector colleagues through resources and network development, while highlighting the breadth and heterogeneity of Ontario’s arts and culture to the wider public.
