Bleecker Street Co-operative: Scape, September 2007

Artists Anna Camilleri and Tristan R. Whiston led Scape, the second Bleecker Street Co-operative community-engaged project. Individual and group sketches were produced during a series of creative brainstorms; with this, Camilleri produced Scape’s design. Volunteer participants collaborated over several months to create this large-scale public artwork.

Scape participants include Angelica Batalla, Hamish Broadwater, Rhonda Brown, Noelle Campbell-Smith, Richard Carrier-Bragg, Mary Deacon, Nic Di Santo, Rudi Garcia, Irene Gonzales, Liliana Grosso, Dorian Johnson, Brian Latoski, Joe Leggiero, Morgan MacKinnon, David Matthews, Rob Papp, Coco St. Louis-McBurney, Keisha St. Louis-McBurney, Cecelia St. Louis, Marcus Rak, Janet Rowe, Zaayon Russell-Smith, and Miriam Verhaar.

Bleecker Street Co-operative Homes was founded in 1991 and has been honoured with multiple awards for social inclusion and innovation.
