Drum of Concordia - CreateSpace (temporary public art)
The Drum of Concordia (Roman Goddes of Harmony) is an interactive installation to depict the harmony of the various cultures that make up the Fort St. John society. It represents a large-scale drum that people could walk through.Its canopy is held up by truss posts featuring various fabrics and elements from many cultures found in our area - showing how the shade and comfort come as a result of us standing together in harmony in a place we all call home. It is this partnership in community building that makes us one.
