PANORAMICA
Preserved as a 43-acre archeological park, Fort York is where British soldiers, First Nations warriors, and Upper Canadian militiamen stood together against the United States and their mission to capture Toronto in the War of 1812. The bloody Battle of York that ensued was a dark and dramatic moment in the history of the city.
Feel the past come to life. Relive moments of the battle through an immersive multimedia experience and live demonstrations. Be inspired by the stories of unsung heroes and those who defended our city, while fighting against their own oppressions. Experience how soldiers and their families lived by tasting meals from early 19th-century recipes, prepared right in front of you over an open-fire. In 2021, Fort York will engage in the inclusion of Indigenous narratives and stories through a partnership with First Story Toronto where Indigenous guides embark on a truth-telling journey through their own lens and the site will host the ninth annual Indigenous Arts Festival.

Local context
Fort York National Historic Site è un parco archeologico di 43 acri che conserva la memoria della storica Battaglia di York (War of 1812), quando soldati britannici, guerrieri delle Prime Nazioni e miliziani dell’Alto Canada si trovarono insieme nella difesa di Toronto dall’offensiva degli Stati Uniti. Un luogo di grande impatto storico e culturale dove il passato prende vita grazie a un’esperienza multimediale immersiva e a dimostrazioni dal vivo, pensate per rivivere i momenti della battaglia e le storie di chi ha contribuito a difendere la città, anche affrontando le proprie forme di oppressione. Tra le proposte disponibili, l’esperienza include anche la possibilità di assaggiare pietanze ispirate a ricette dell’inizio del XIX secolo, preparate davanti ai visitatori con metodi basati sul fuoco aperto, per comprendere come vivevano soldati e famiglie dell’epoca. Dal 2021 Fort York rafforza l’inclusione dei racconti delle comunità Indigene attraverso una partnership con First Story Toronto, con guide Indigene impegnate in un percorso di “truth-telling” attraverso il proprio punto di vista, e ospita inoltre il nono Indigenous Arts Festival. Per chi si trova a Milano e cerca un’esperienza educativa e coinvolgente legata alla storia del Canada e alla narrazione plurale degli eventi, Fort York è una destinazione ideale dove cultura, memoria e protagonismo prendono forma dal vivo.
