How often do you stop and reflect on where you’re standing, what difficult historical significance the space may have, or what weight its name may carry?

Sydney Wreaks (BFA 2020), Master of Art in Art Education student at NSCAD University, has partnered with Lucy Boyd, History and Early Modern Studies student at University of King’s College, to populate the DHD, an initiative part of the Counter Memory Activism interdisciplinary research-creation project.
