The group of artists collaborating on BrokeDownTown have spent the past few months exploring the stories and ghosts behind one of downtown Sudbury's most historic buildings: 67 Elm Street. Formerly home to Silverman's Department Store, the self-proclaimed "Greatest Store in Northern Ontario." The building is now occupied by Querney's Office Plus, itself a family owned business.
BrokeDownTown inciters Marc Donato and Matthew Heiti spoke with Jason Turnbull on CBC Radio's Morning North about the process of creating this new project. Listen to the interview here. In BrokeDownTown, we'll be looking at the changing picture of a downtown core, from boom to bust to revival. Incorporating text, music, sound, image and performance, the piece has been devised by a group of artists collaborating across discipline.
BrokeDownTown is a multimedia installation and performance that will take place on September 30 and October 1, 2016 in the beating nickel heart of downtown Sudbury. Where? Who? How? WHY? Details on a tomorrow... Original image courtesy of Greater Sudbury Public Library
