#3CL: Three City Link: Regina-Coventry-Gyumri

#3CL: Three City Link is a collaborative project linking Fine Arts researchers, artists and students in three cities: Regina, SK; Coventry, UK; and Gyumri, Armenia. Concerned with issues of peaceability and citizenship, the project brings into contact three cities with complex histories, given that Regina is a place struggling with the legacy of colonization and Canada’s cultural genocide of Indigenous people; Coventry is officially designated an international city of Peace and Reconciliation related to its devastation in WWII; and Gyumri is a city recovering from the legacies of war, genocide and natural disaster. The aim of the project is to create a context where new forms of translocal dialogues can occur through creative interactions using online screen-based media and on-the-ground dialogues. For the duration of the two-week live-event, running November 3-14, gallery spaces in each city will host students as they create an unfolding dialogue of images, sounds, videos, physical structures, objects and stories in response to the question of how artists can shift the narratives of their cities beyond histories of trauma toward linked creative futures.
