Augmented Reality Wall Mural Unveiled in Toronto.
With the theme of Migration and Cultural Story Telling, this piece explores migration as a search for belonging, Toronto is not only home to people from all over the world, but also to many species of native turtles that migrate back to the area every year, Iincluding the four turtle species depicted in this installation: The artists also felt it important to acknowledge and honour First Nations people, to whom this land is known as “Turtle Island”.
