Visualizing Absence: Memorializing the histories of the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds is an art-based research project led by Anne Zbitnew in collaboration with other artists and students from the Arts Administration and Cultural Management program at Humber College. The project gathers many perspectives from the former Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital grounds, which is now home to Humber College Lakeshore, Colonel Samuel Smith Park, and various community organizations. Collaborators reflected on the hidden and lost stories and memories that make up the history of Etobicoke’s Lakeshore Grounds.  Artists used a variety of methods and media in response to the appropriation of the Aboriginal land and the stereotype, stigma and the objectification of psychiatric survivors.
