Arts in the Parks: POOLBODY

POOLBODY is a free, site-responsive performance series curated by Shalon T. Webber-Heffernan taking place across multiple pool sites throughout the GTA in August 2026. Activating public and private pools through live performance, participatory works, talks, and public gatherings, the series reflects on pools as shared civic spaces shaped by memory, access, embodiment, leisure, and belonging. The Flagstaff Park program features a children’s art workshop and exhibition alongside performances and participatory works by Nyda Kwasowsky, Tess Martens, Ranganathan Rajan, and additional artists and community participants.
