Several months ago I noticed a marketing slogan plastered across hoarding that is encasing some of the many development projects in Ottawa. It read ‘Culture Lives Here’. I understood it to imply that culture was within redevelopment; that the galleries or the light rail or the Rideau mall or the ByWard Market were physical homes for culture. Although this does make sense within the definition of culture I had an adverse reaction to the implication that culture is built around people as opposed to through people. For Issue 09 I decided to ask the public ‘What is Culture?’ and ‘Where does Culture live?’
