dc.description.abstractWhen Nobody Was Here is a visual arts Thesis project documenting the collaborative making of a 45-foot cloth banner. It is part of an ongoing conversation in my work about the untold stories found within the context of Canada's settler-colonial history. Beginning with historical misrepresentation, the project invites individuals to create fabric assemblages for the banner in response to ideas about generational knowledge. Together, the assembled pieces create an unplanned narrative across the surface of the banner. I use screen captures and video clips in a digital montage to document and reflect the mood of the project. The banner and the video montage work together to encapsulate the past through a process of locating the social, political, and natural interconnections we carry with us in our day-to-day lives. This paper is written to support my thesis project.
