About the Program
In the community-based The Mattering Map Project, artist Pia Massie worked with fourteen "diner" restaurants in Mount Pleasant, focusing on social history and personal storytelling. The Mattering Map Project provided point and shoot cameras encouraging the self-documentation of how the people in the diners saw their own spaces. Massie then selected one photograph from each diner to mount on diner table tops—some found / some created—to echo the aesthetic of these dying establishments. Combining an audio installation with the photographs, The Mattering Map Project created an installation for the local Mount Pleasant community that spoke through specific stories of many decades of neighbourhood history to explore and reflect on issues of gentrification and displacement.Artist
