You have been asked to bring in an artifact that represents your family identity or heritage for Monday. Below you will find a link to a great website that will hopefully inspire you!.
The Project is called Cosmopolis Toronto. It was created by photographer Colin Boyd Shafer who set out on a yearlong journey (June 2013 – June 2014) to photograph someone born in every single country of the world who now calls Toronto home.
For each person participating in the project, a portrait is taken of them in a place where they feel ‘at home’. A second photograph features them holding an item that connects them to their birthplace. These two photographs are paired with a short story and mapped here on the website.
Our Grade 6 classes will be completing something very similar.
