The village has since disappeared from Montreal maps, effectively obliterating certain ethnic groups from the cultural and social fabric of this undervalued site. Goose Village is currently a parking lot and a dismal terrain vague. Via memory mapping, oral history interviews, portraiture, the urban landscape, and a forensic gaze into thousands of historical images of the neighbourhood housed at Les Archives de la Ville de Montréal, the Goose Village project signals how poor urban planning decisions play a role in the physical and psychical erasure of working-class communities, as my family and friends experienced the expropriations. The purpose is two-fold: to highlight the destructive consequences of short-term political agendas and capitalist ills of hallmark events that cause community displacement and to commemorate the villagers' memories by investigating a sense of place and cultural identity through an autobiographical and empathetic lens.
