‘Tar Sands: Time Is Running Out,’ 2010. Acrylics on Canvas. 20ft X 24ft. 

 

Sixty people, from kids to elders, came to learn and share knowledge on the project of the tar sands in northern Alberta through the creation this large mobile mural documenting the reflections and insights. The painting process, co-facilitated with Sara Kendall, took only one month with the intention to unveil it  at the G20 (Group of Twenty, an international forum for the governments and central bank governors from 19 countries and the European Union (EU) happening in Toronto.

The Tar Sands is the most destructive project in human history, and we think this is an important story to share. The painting is stored in Coast Salish Territories, Vancouver, and it is available for educators, community organizers, activists, artists and leaders to use at events and actions. The panting also hold an engaging scavenger hunt that provides facts of the  Tar Sands Project.  

Lead Artists/Facilitators: Sara Kendall and Melanie Schambach
