Redeye

In July 2017, residents of a suburban development in Markham, Ontario  awoke to find a giant chrome replica of a cow called Charity facing their homes. The residents had never been consulted about the installation and  quickly rose in opposition to the  sculpture. The interactive documentary, Charity, looks at the controversy and the bureaucratic processes involved. It raises questions about the role of public art. We speak with Ryan Ferko, one of the documentary’s creators.
