The world premiere of renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky’s In the Wake of Progress on the immense digital screens surrounding Yonge-Dundas Square: a fully choreographed blend of photographs and film, with a staggering musical score.

This free, outdoor experience tells the epic tale of humanity’s impact on the planet. Co-produced by Canadian music legend Bob Ezrin, In the Wake of Progress presents powerful imagery of global landscapes usurped by human activity in contrast to the dazzling urban centre, at a moment when the health of our planet is an urgent international priority.

In the Wake of Progress challenges us to have an important conversation about our legacy and the future implications of sustainable life on earth.
