Description: ECHOES delves into the impact of forgotten histories within transient urban landscapes on personal memory and cultural amnesia, examining how an erased past influences future generations. Through ECHOES, OURO pays homage to two significant landmarks in downtown Vancouver—Robson Square and the Firehall Arts Centre—along with their surrounding neighborhoods. By uncovering past iterations of these sites and celebrating the rich narratives embedded within the city's fabric, the piece serves as a historical exploration and part of the collective's broader inquiry into the city's ever-evolving landscape.
