S THEME VANISH As a curatorial premise the term VANISH alludes to both the ephemeral nature of the Nocturne experience and the shifting focus that occurs as new or forgotten memories are transposed over prevalent narratives and pasts VANISH is not erasure or removal but an act of distancing or blurring VANISH is slow magic ?? a camera lens slowly adjusting its focus In as we usher in a year punctuated with celebrations of signi ?cant moments in Canadian history it is important to take time to re ect on the complex nature of cultural remembrance As a means to creatively disrupt the dominant narratives that have come to de ?ne the city ? s complex history VANISH seeks to re-envision familiar public spaces throughout Halifax and Dartmouth as phantasmagoric alternative realities Our poster designed again by
