‘Crossings’ is a Journey to Easter Arts Exhibition and is one of a series of urban exhibits that began in 2016 and has taken place in London, Washington, New York, and Amsterdam. In 2021 the Exhibition took place online and in 2022 Toronto is the hosting city. For the period of Lent, the public is invited to visit distinctive artworks in the heart of the city created by Canadian artists as a response to the bible narrative expressed in the Scriptural Stations of the Cross. Major institutions, organizations and various places of worship will be participating in this ecumenical project. Colleen McLaughlin Barlow’s commission is Station #7, ‘Christ takes up the cross’ located in front of St. Basil’s Church in central Toronto.
