"A Confluence of Legacies" is a new hybrid video and live performance created by intermedia artist Michelle Wilson. This work of speculative fiction combines overhead projector animation, narration, and a live score to explore how personal, familial, historical, and more-than-human legacies converge around an abandoned paint factory site within an Environmentally Significant Area known as The Coves, located in London, Ontario. This piece continues Wilson's collaboration with the Coves Collective, which is partially funded by the London Arts Council's Community Arts Investment Program. The Coves Collective is an ad-hoc group of artists, educators, and activists that have come together to attend to our responsibilities and relationships with the Coves: an environmentally significant area in the middle of London, Ontario. The Coves Collective is founded on an ethos of direct action, accessibility, collaboration, and justice.
