DodoLab is returning to Prince Edward Island in July 2010 to continue its collaboration with the Confederation Centre Art Gallery. We have been thinking a lot lately about what makes and defines an island, not just physically determined places, but social and cultural spaces as well. We have become more and more interested in this topic as it relates to our core interests in resiliency and the barriers to adaptation and change and it echoes with our investigations in other communities. Our work in PEI last year was informed by local debates about the future of the Experimental Farm (a government and university agricultural research site in Charlottetown) and while that multi-faceted program led our team to various explorations of farming and the transformation and defining of a place, this was all firmly grounded in an awareness that these explorations were taking place within a very specifically defined place with distinct boundaries. So, while our focus in 2010 is shifting a little, we feel it is becoming richer and more relevant to the DodoLab activity that has been emerging over the past year.
