Organized by Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery (KWAG)
Located in the Sculpture Garden, KWAG’s Garden of Resilience is designed to empower local residents by providing individual beds for growing organic produce, flowers and herbs.
As a model, it is a decolonial gesture that inverts capitalist expectations of land value and outdated conceptions of aesthetic value and landscaping. As a gallery, the garden will be regularly programmed, activated and cared for, just like our internal gallery spaces. KWAG seeks to learn from the garden and understand how we can best position ourselves to care for our immediate neighbors and local ecologies.
