The 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 features five public artworks that share a common structure but showcase diverse surface designs. Artists from communities throughout what is now Western Canada, selected through a jury process, were invited to explore the theme of resilience by hand-painting these sculptural canvases.

The surface painters are Autumn Whiteway, Jorge Antonio Fuentes, Michelle Ku, Alana Halliday, Layla Folkmann.

The collaborative project was developed by the Hispanic Arts Society, who commissioned visual artist Daniela Szeőke to design the sculptural canvases. As viewers walk around the sculptures, their forms shift from heart-like shapes to fully abstracted forms, creating an illusion that symbolizes how resilience can appear different depending on one’s perspective. 🤍

📍 Since their unveiling in 2023, these five travelling sculptures have been exhibited together at the YYC International Airport, The Calgary Municipal Building, TELUS Convention Centre, Prince’s Island Park, Jamieson Place, and Alberta University of the Arts.
