About
Join Natalie Laura King for a collaborative drawing installation that reflects Anishinaabe knowledge systems and queer ways of seeing, as your contributions shape a large-scale painting across HTO Park’s sidewalks.
As the Flower Returns invites pedestrians and visitors to walk among spirits, plants, and animals native to this shoreline, and to contribute to these images themselves. King’s drawings will expand across HTO Park’s sidewalks like an ecology of memory — filled with bees, loons, and figures that blend with petals, rivers, and wings.
The design reflects Anishinaabe knowledge systems and queer ways of seeing, making the sidewalk a place of story, beauty, and shared grounding. On-site, visitors will be invited to contribute to portions of the drawing. Each section will be guided by the energy of what grows here — what has always been here.
