What is it about?
This article discusses an art installation made by pre-service art teachers in a place-based education course, which critiqued the colonial history of the park by provoking visitor responses. The piece examines through an anti-racist and anticolonial theoretical lens the histories of public parks in general, and the public park hosting this installation specifically, It then analyzes ways that the students artwork responded to - and failed to respond to - those colonial realities.
