Artist Tanya Bub took her sculpture Sitting with Grace to various locations in Victoria where people in the unhoused community congregate, encouraging people to sit on the throne and to ask questions
Artist Tanya Bub wanted to build a bridge of empathy between the street community and the rest of the city.
“I am using art as a way of opening doors and breaking down barriers — as a way of connecting,” said Bub. “We are all poorer without discovering the warmth and generosity that exists in the [street] community.” “My goal is to give people an emotional experience with the hope of creating a bridge of empathy that changes the way they feel about people in our community who are experiencing homelessness,” said Bub.
The project is a collaborative effort with Our Place Society and Haus of Owl, a “creation lab” for artists that provides studio spaces.
