Remai Modern – Linda Duvall, This Place Remembers
Linda Duvall, This Place Remembers
In 2025, artist Linda Duvall orchestrated a new commemorative public intervention titled This Place Remembers. The project aims to acknowledge the untold histories of trauma and violence that have left an indelible mark on our city. At the event, Duvall invited members of the public to recommend sites that held personal meaning. Working with members of STR8 UP—a Saskatoon organization that offers outreach services, programming, and support to those who have lived or are living criminal street lifestyles—and other collaborators, she marked each location by planting crocuses, the hardy perennials whose blossoms signal the arrival of spring. On Saturday, April 18 at 1 PM, Remai Modern will celebrate the coming of spring and the blossoming of this subtle and poetic artistic gesture. Join the artist, members of STR8 UP, project participants and museum staff for a day of conversation and reflection. Coffee and tea will be provided. Following the event, visitors are invited to explore the grounds near the museum to view crocuses and engage with the artist and participants.
