Walls and Barriers is a large collaborative art project created by young artists from secondary schools and community agencies across the GTA. 500+ young artists will create a public art installation in response to the work of internationally renowned artist El Anatsui. Inspired by Anatsui’s practice and his concept of walls and barriers, each participant will create an individual art response reflecting on the obstacles they encounter in their lives. These works will form a series of moveable walls, and in the process become part of a larger community project.

A note from the ROM:

Hello Everyone,
The El Anatsui exhibition does not open until the 2nd October and we have just heard from the ROM that the complimentary tickets that are being sent to you in the schools are not valid until the opening of the El Anatsui Exhibition.

This being said we will now move the Collaborative Community day to Sunday 3 October at 3:00p.m. so participants can view the student Walls and Barriers panels and then go upstairs to the ICC to view the El Anatsui retrospective.

***Please note that you can use the complimentary tickets any time before Walls and Barriers comes down on the 23 October, 2010/
