Winter is back at The Bentway, and with it a new installation as part of the annual Transform the Trail program.
A colourful procession of woven arches stretch across The Bentway’s Skate Trail, bringing the northern lights into the city. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of the aurora borealis and the role of weaving in their cultures, Canadian artistic duo Yi Zhou and Carlos Portillo’s installation ‘The Gateway’ accentuates the monumental architecture of the Gardiner with vibrant hues of green, blue, violet, and magenta.
Two free public workshops hosted at The Bentway Studio further explore The Gateway’s approaches to material, astronomical phenomena, and community connection:
Weaving Workshop: Jan 13 from 1-4pm – RSVP
Northern Lights Astronomy: Jan 27 from 5-6:30pm – RSVP
