Description
Post-war bungalows, also known as “victory houses,” were built across Canada to house returning veterans and their families. The Alexander Drive Project tells the story of one such neighbourhood built in 1948 in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. This social history chronicles how the street has evolved over the last 75 years, touching upon themes of affordable housing, supportive neighbourhoods, mental health, addiction, violence, changing demographics, gender roles, and the impact of climate change. Artist and author Sandy Kowalik blends archival research, resident interviews, and photographs, along with a series of garden assemblages using found objects recovered from her yard to create a portrait of how the neighbourhood came to be and of the people who call(ed) it home.
