Emerging From the Rubble

Documentary (in post), 14min., HD

A unique artistic movement has established itself in the strangest place, a massive rubble pile leftover from the demolition of an old grain elevator located along the harbour front in Thunder Bay, Ontario.   An artist calling himself SaVanT describes how his art is part of a greater need to reclaim public space from the forces of consumerism and control  while at the same time a way a generation has embraced the impermanence of graffiti art as a means of expression.  The future of the rubble is uncertain as various interests compete to develop the site into something new.
