Settin' Stone
About:
In the fall of 2008 over 45 youth participated in the creation of a permanent public art piece at Maria A. Shchuka Library. Workshops led by d’bi young explored dub poetry as a means of storytelling, while visual artist Lois Dellert helped participants to create cement tiles isolating words from their poems. The tiles were then permanently installed on a planter box creating a collaborative community poem. Settin’ Stone gave youth of the Eglinton/Dufferin area an opportunity to find their voices, tell their stories, and leave their mark.
