What is the Housing Justice Oral History Project?

In this trailer, timothy martin explores some of the thinking that underpins the project, while we get glimpses into the testimonies offered in the “episodes” to come. Each oral history interview preserves the voices and memory of significant contributors to the housing justice movement in Canada. As Beric German says, this is…a time… We are living through a time. It is a time for action, a time for stories, a time for remembrance—the bouquets of whispering grasses that we must, each of us, gather up and pass on to a world that is not yet. Yet we must also do the work of making the world that we imagine, the one we hope to share. With thanks to The Colonel, Gaetan Heroux, Bob Rose, Beric German, Cathy Crowe, my supervisor Ann Chinnery (SFU), and others.
