A behind-the-scenes look at Effervescent Dream and The Infinite Garden.

Written by: Christopher Turner

For better or worse, the past year has changed us. As we begin to take major steps toward resuming our normal lives post-COVID-19 (with safety still in mind, of course), it’s important to recognize all of the lessons we’ve learned about health, family, work, resilience, community, and humanity.

It’s safe to say that through the past year and a half, our realities have been altered as we’ve watched the world undergo dramatic shifts during restrictive lockdowns and reduced mobility. However, in contrast to the tragic scenes we saw on our TV screens and experienced in our personal lives, we’ve also had the opportunity to experience personal growth and, hopefully, have seen the best of humanity. A new community spirit has emerged that demonstrated that human beings collectively care for one another. Plus, many of us learned to embrace new ways of social engagement and how to reimagine the joy of art and communication.

With that in mind, this summer Bombay Sapphire will be presenting a new series of installations with innovative Canadian creatives as part of the ongoing Bombay Sapphire Art Project. The series of installations aim to bring together diverse audiences and offer an opportunity to reconnect us socially and safely using sculpture, AR, and multimedia techniques.
