Appendix B Site and Context TRAFFIC SIGNAL BOX WRAPS PUBLIC ART PROJECT Downtown Hamilton is the commercial, civic and cultural centre of the City and major regional destination. Its rich heritage is the result of multi-faceted development and multi-cultural occupation, each of which has left its mark. Located on unceded territories of the Haudenosaunee and Anishnaabeg Nations, the once-village was settled in the early 1800’s at the intersection of King and James Streets, the former of which was an important indigenous travel route. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the village grew into one of Canada’s Image Credits (LtoR): Kobby Crabbe; Jocelyn Reynolds for StreetART Toronto/FDBIA; Tourism Hamilton; Jocelyn Reynolds for Stree- tART Toronto/FDBIA; Tourism Hamilton most important industrial cities, experiencing waves of immigration first from the United States, then England, Scotland and Ireland.

Sage, September 2013 PhD Thesis – V. E.

Sage, B.A. (Waterloo University), B.A. (Cape Breton University), M.A. (Memorial University of Newfoundland) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ellen Badone NUMBER OF PAGES: xii, 231 ii PhD Thesis – V. E. Sage McMaster University – Dept. of Anthropology Abstract I argue in this dissertation that aestheticizing urban landscapes represents an effort to create humane public environments in disenfranchised inner-city spaces, and turns these environments into culturally valued sites of pilgrimage. Specifically, I focus on James Street North, a neighbourhood undergoing artistic renewal in the post-industrial city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Based on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in the arts scene on James Street North, my thesis claims that artistic activities serve as an ordinary, everyday material response to the perceived and real challenges of poverty, crime and decay in downtown Hamilton. Aesthetic elaboration is a generative and tangible expression by arts stakeholders of their intangible hopes, desires, and dreams for the city.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Textile Society of America Symposium Proceedings by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Pulling Strings: Textiles, Community and DIY in Post-Industrial Hamilton Jen Anisef, Thea Haines and Tara Bursey In the city formerly known as Canada’s Steeltown, the economic recession of the 1990s, suburban sprawl, and the collapse of Hamilton's steel industry had a devastating impact on the city's vitality. An exodus of commercial retail and corporate tenancy from the core of the city left many buildings vacant. In the last decade, Hamilton’s creative community has emerged as a major force in downtown renewal, neighbourhood building, and civic engagement and pride. Our collective and textile event series Pulling Strings has grown out of this context serving as a vehicle for research and community building. Through research, projects and activities we have examined intersections of Hamilton’s industrial history, textiles, contemporary art, DIY and place among artists and craftspeople in Downtown Hamilton.
