Description:
This project series documents The Pig "Carosello Italiano", a film made in the winter of 1967-1968 by Gianni Pettena with archivale footage and shots by Pettena himself. The film is "a comment on the violence of power and consumerism". [1] It consists of a montage of violent scenes, like the Vietnam war, protest demonstrations, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, intersected with images of "mass society's rituals: traffic, shopping and parades in costume"[2]. The project series contains a video recording on VHS of the film, project descriptions in English and in Italian, and a digital version of the film. Source: [1] [2] Marco Scotini, editor.

Description:
This series contains reproductions of photographs that were taken by Alexandre Alves Costa from 1974 to 1976. The photographs document the Portuguese Revolution and the beginning of the SAAL process. The material gives a sample of events that occurred at the time, such as protests and assemblies, and shows political graffiti and the living and housing conditions of families of Portuguese workers. The SAAL Process exhibition at the CCA displayed these reproductions as a timeline in one of the galleries. The arrangement of this series reflects the arrangement of the timeline. For the exhibition, photographs taken in 1974 to 1976 were selected to illustrate the events, actions and decisions that lead to the SAAL process from the beginning of the Portuguese Revolution to SAAL. Note that the reproductions of photographs documenting SAAL projects used in the exhibition are arranged under their respective project series.

Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Skeena Terrace Low Rent Housing Project, a housing development located on the eastern edge of Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project between 1961 and 1965. The architectural firm in charge of the project was Underwood, McKinley, Cameron, Wilson & Smith Architects. The project was comprised of an eight-storey apartment tower and twenty-seven three-storey maisonettes. Oberlander was in charge of the landscape design for the twelve-acre site. The project initially included the construction of a roadway cutting the site in two, but was never built due to protests from the community. Oberlander's landscape plan included a design for an outdoor terrace and garden areas for the maisonnettes, a community garden and numerous recreational and social spaces. She also designed play scultpures for small children. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape plans and planting plans, working drawings, including a site plan and planting plans, a specifications addendum, an invitation to the official inauguration of the project, and photographs, which are mostly of the construction site.
