Workers Arts & Heritage Centre

Presented as part of the artist-projects/conference Art & Social Strata March 24, 2018 at the Workers Arts & Heritage Centre (51 Stuart St, Hamilton).

This public walk and talk takes the area around the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre (WAHC), particularly the newly built West Harbour GO Station, and analyzes the social strata that affects this particular place and space. Strata-Walk (WAHC Version) aims to provide participants with strata-mapping skills in order to highlight the different layers of place that make up Hamilton’s fast-changing downtown core.
