Manifesto produced a portion of the 2008 Luminato Festival of Arts & Creativity's Streetscape component. The unique project involved two sites and a multi-faceted approach combining art making, community engagement, collaboration, education, and storytelling. The two extremely different but incredible projects took place in Regent Park, and at the mill silos site on the Parliament St. slip at the former site of Tent City.
The Regent Park component also involved 20 youth from the community who participated in a 9 week workshop program about street art and storytelling with each of the artists participating in the exhibition as well as local community organizations and the Art Gallery Of Ontario. Drawing from partnerships in the local the community, five major componentsattempted to reflect the people and activities of Regent Park -- a diverse community and Canada's pioneering social housing project. The process-driven installations aimed to confer importance on the residents as individuals and to celebrate the life that makes up Regent Park as a community.
