Eroded<\/h2>\n

Hanlan\u2019s Point Beach in Toronto is Canada\u2019s oldest surviving queer space. Today, erosion is slowly washing parts of it away.<\/p>\n

Eroded<\/em>\u00a0moves between paintings, home videos and present-day footage on the beach, tracing what remains as the landscape changes. James revisits his photographs of Hanlan\u2019s in the 1970s, reflecting on cruising, gay visibility, and what has since been lost. Lez Beach, a sapphic collective, (re)claims space and representation through bonfires on the shoreline. Zack opens up about his painting practice, and how drawing becomes his way to remember. Brian shares home movies from his youth in 1980s Toronto, looking back on what it meas to leave a legacy through images.<\/p>\n

Together, these voices reveal how a place persists through the people who return to it, even as the shore itself begins to vanish.<\/p>\n

This project was developed within an artistic research process that inquired how the queer community relates to shifting urban and ecological landscapes.<\/p>\n
