Art for the 21st Century with Wally Dion

Delve into to sculptural practice of artist Wally Dion, in conversation with ROM’s Silvia Forni. Recycling first world waste, Dion’s intricate works are crafted from computer circuit boards using patterns that call to mind traditional quilts and blankets. The reworked circuitry offers an updated symbol of longstanding social networks, while at the same time talking about empowerment through technology within First Nations communities.

 Event recorded on June 3, 2021.
