The digital art initiative is youth-led and designed to empower them with critical digital literacy skills and social media tools to create cutting-edge multimedia performances and installations that describe their experiences with hate, discrimination and cyber bullying. Our aim is to implement and evaluate a sustainable, multi-sectoral, culturally-relevant, youth-led approach to creating media-based narratives that accurately reflect youths’ lived experiences, with the ultimate objective of reducing instances of discrimination.
We are currently funded by the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), Canadian Heritage, and the Michaëlle Jean Foundation.

Landscape of Hope is inspired by and derived from the work of the multimedia collective Landscape of Hate.
In this 9-minute video, members and participants explain the concept and experience of Landscape of Hope.
The Landscape of Hope team has put together a guidebook for evaluating art-driven and resilience-based initiatives. While the guide is intended to support researchers and partners of the project in measuring the progress and effectiveness of their work, it will serve as a practical tool to any organization undertaking similar work at the intersection of social justice, education and the arts.
This 55-minute webinar, recorded in English on November 22nd, 2021, describes evaluating art-driven and resilience-based initiatives based on the guidebook.
