NiS+TS presents
Walking the Debris Field: A Natural History
Public art walking event marking the 98th anniversary of the Halifax Explosion
12 noon, Sunday December 6, 2015 Starting at the community
garden behind the Devonshire Arena, 3405 Devonshire Ave.,
Halifax
The Halifax Explosion of 1917 reverberates as a definitive
moment around which powerful themes of destruction and
reconstruction, urbanism and community continue to
circulate. This art walk moves across the Richmond slope
(the Halifax neighbourhood most severely devastated by the
explosion) and into the Hydrostone neighbourhood built
during the reconstruction effort. An experience in the
present, the walk maps narratives and artifacts from the
past. By using mobile devices, participants can add their
own traces to the record of the 1917 disaster.
Please dress for the weather, and bring a smartphone with a
GPS tracking app, if you have one. After the walk, recorded
tracks can be sent to: [log in to unmask]
NiS+TS (Narratives in Space+Time Society) is an
interdisciplinary research creation group that develops and
presents projects involving mobile media and walking. Based
in Halifax and Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, NiS+TS promotes the
use of mobile media in public spaces by artists and members
of the community. NiS+TS events are sited in spaces that are
often overlooked, disused or vacant. Participants use mobile
media such as GPS apps, smartphones and mobility tracking
devices, in combination with other modes, in interactive
explorations of locations and subjects. Founded in 2012, the
members of NiS+TS are Robert Bean, Renée Gruszecki, Brian
Lilley, Barbara Lounder and Mary Elizabeth Luka.
Walking the Debris Field: A Natural History is supported by
Arts NS and the City of Halifax

And once again we sing
And once again we sow
Because life never surrenders."
