Oral history project seeks to increase awareness and humanize those on margins in Cobourg
In the face of an ongoing debate over the fate of people living on the margins in Cobourg, a former activist and artist has created an interactive installation on display in the downtown in hopes of increasing awareness and humanizing some of these individuals.
Former Greenwood Coalition Executive Director David Sheffield recently launched the I Belong Here project. It combines oral history, art, and community engagement to highlight the stories of individuals in Cobourg who are often labeled in negative terms.
In this interview, Sheffield will discuss the art installation he created since retiring from the Greenwood Coalition, unpacking details about the individuals he interviewed and his own creative path to making the installation.
Listen and decide if art can make a difference in addressing critical challenges within Cobourg.
