The Landscape of Forgetting is a public walk led by Camille Turner & Alana Bartol to reflect on the silenced history of enslaved Black and Indigenous people who lived and worked in the Windsor region. The walk took place on November 15, 2014 as part of the Neighbourhood Spaces Symposium. It began at Windsor Community Museum, the former home of François Bâby, of the powerful Bâby family who benefitted from the unpaid labour of Black and Indigenous people in their household. Participants wandered down to the Detroit river where the names and stories of enslaved people were brought out of the archive and into public space and their stories, unsilenced as part of Windsor’s history.
