Let's Heal The Divide

Let's Heal the Divide, a striking artwork by Toni Latour, once graced the façade of Vancouver Community College, symbolizing the stark contrasts between the Downtown Eastside and the adjacent affluent district. Originally installed in 2015 and repositioned in December 2020 to Vancouver's Chinatown, the piece now addresses issues of gentrification and cultural displacement in the neighborhood. Beyond its physical presence, Let's Heal the Divide serves as a poignant reflection on global themes of racism, social conflict, activism, and community resilience.

In a world marked by division and upheaval, Let's Heal the Divide encourages contemplation on inclusion, justice, and collective healing. It stands as a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to foster connection, understanding, and progress amidst turbulent times. The artwork's resonance extends far beyond its immediate surroundings, transcending boundaries to provoke conversations and inspire positive change on a broader scale.
