    oai:currents.journals.yorku.ca:article/37295Where the Trees Stood in Water is a series of Cyanotype prints tracing the historic and contemporary transformations of Toronto’s Entertainment District. Each print is accompanied by an archival document which forms a narrative connecting geography to stories of colonization, industrialization and the transient bodies of those affected by the remaking of Toronto’s landscape. Juxtaposing text and image, Where the Trees… pushes against the archival documentation of Toronto’s past and challenges the stories told about colonialism, labour and migration. With playful reproductions, Bambitchell invites hidden, obscured, lost, and silenced narratives of colonial history to surface and tell new stories about the geography of Toronto’s core
