Jesse Beus
Winter Stations is an international design competition held annually in Toronto. Since 2015, artists, architects, designers, and students have been invited to reimagine lifeguard stations as interactive public art installations, transforming city beaches into an open-air exhibition each winter. Every year, the exhibition draws thousands of visitors, bringing creativity, community, and colour to the city’s Woodbine and Kew beaches in the coldest months.
Parade by Jesse Beus was featured in the 2025 Edition of Winter Stations. Parade is a celebration of those who live in the warm dawn of self – acceptance. It is comprised of six characters each with their own unique colour, shape, purpose, and identity. Together this eclectic cast of follies proudly march together in an unstoppable procession and invite all to join them! Users join the parade through an archway and move from character to character discovering each’s personality and interactivity, including sliding, sitting, and shading. Despite anything that might try to get in their way, these six friends will march on until love has dawned in all hearts.
