Territories and Identities
Do we inhabit a territory or does the territory inhabit us? What impact do we have on others? From one ocean to another to another, communities develop their way of life according to the climate, the relief, the rivers and the forest. A spectacular landscape, with the allure of terrestrial paradise overflowing with resources, inspires us and creates a desire to live within it. From the first nations to immigrants, various cultures have met and transformed from their contact with each other. Somewhere between sharing and adaptation, diverse peoples co-exist while upholding the continuity of their traditions and institutions. In which territory do you see yourself? Your room? Your city? Your country?
