The Weston Mural Sound Piece
Crossroads Theatre has collaborated with a team of professional artists and community members to create a sound piece designed to accompany the newest public art in Weston, Toronto.
The Weston Mural Sound Piece was designed to increase access for members of the Blind and Low Vision Community, while also offering a unique audio experience for anyone engaging with the 260 ft mural at the Weston Go/Up Station titled “Chasing Wind (2025)” by Brother Moises.
It offers an additional way to engage with visual art through sound. In Sound Piece, you’ll expereince a guided tour by artist Brother Moises that features integrated audio description and an incredible soundscape of natural, musical, and environmental sounds created by River Oliveria.
The mural was commissioned by the Weston Village Community Association to celebrate Weston’s deep connection to the Humber River Valley and the spirit of community that flows through it. It is located at the Weston GO/Up Station at 1749B Weston Rd, York, ON M9N 1V5.
You can listen to the sound piece on site by scanning the tactile QR code included on an archival plaque at either end of the mural, or press play on the audio file on this page.

“How can you make public art more accessible? By collaborating with members of the community with lived expereince, we’ve been able to explore the work in another artistic medium. The moment you consider access, a whole world of possibilities opens up!”
