“Resilience” is a photography exhibit at Cedarbrae Library.
It is the creation of Scarborough Made. This is a group founded by Alex Narvaez x Sid Naidu in 2019. It uses photography and cinematography to document positive stories about the people of Scarborough with emphasis on identity and culture.
“Resilience:
The ability to recover from challenges or adjust easily to change.
Resilience exists all around us.
We see it in the movers and shakers, the cultural change makers and creative instigators.
We see it in our neighbourhoods, from the small businesses to our healthcare and essential workers.
Resilience is what lives in our narratives and exists within our identity.
Our resilience as a community is stronger when we stick together. With it, we can overcome the challenges and build towards a better future.
The portraits you see as part of this public art installation represent the many faces that embody resilience. Pulling from both past and present works of Scarborough Made artists, we’ve created this exhibit for you to see and reflect on the humanity that exists within our community.
Resilience is us
Resilience is you
Resilience is Scarborough. ”
