✨ Blanketing The City: Lighting The Way will brighten the Vancouver night sky from TONIGHT until February 27⁠ ✨⁠ ⁠
⁠
Blanketing The City: Lighting The Way is an evolution of the ongoing public art series designed by xʷməθkʷəy̓əm weaver and designer, Debra Sparrow in collaboration with VMF.⁠
⁠
Blanketing The City: Lighting The Way reprograms the lighting of 7 iconic buildings with Coast Salish patterns for all to witness. This project reclaims the Vancouver skyline with weaving patterns that have been shared and passed down for thousands of years by the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh people. ⁠

A new addition to this year’s installation is the Musqueam Runner (formerly known as Thread Runner)—an augmented reality artwork, which you can play with to interact with the Coast Salish patterns at these 7 locations: ⁠ ⁠
⁠
1️⃣ Canada Place // 999 Canada Place⁠

2️⃣ Cathedral Square Park // 566 Richards Street⁠
⁠
3️⃣ TELUS Garden // 510 W Georgia Street⁠
