Four Rooms

A conversation between inside and outside, inspired by our longing for home.

The Brick Works connects us to home: the clay from the quarry became the buildings and houses of Toronto. In Four Rooms the space left behind acts as a portal between the worlds of inside and outside.

Enter four imaginary rooms — the bedroom, the bath, the kitchen, the stairs.

Featuring audio collages by a virtual choir from across Turtle Island led by Juliet Palmer Urbanvessel and Ayelet Rose Gottlieb Orchard of Pomegranates.
