Conceived and created by Amanta Scott in 1992, Virago Project explored the Concise Oxford Dictionary's definition of "Virago" as "a bold, boisterous warrior woman wandering under three names: Selene, Artemis, Persephone". The Virago Project featured four Goddess Sound Sculptures, archetypal images of the multi-dimensional female.
Evolving over several years, Virago Project underwent numerous incarnations, fascinated audiences of all ages and was presented in over 25 Toronto venues including: Art Gallery of Ontario, BCE Place, CBC Barbara Frum Atrium, the Music Gallery, Theatre Passe Muraille, ArtWord Theatre and Tarragon Theatre. Virago Project was sponsored by the Ontario Arts Council, City of York Arts Council, Toronto Arts Council, Metro Arts Council, M.M Webb Foundation, and The Imperial Oil Charitable Foundation. La Châine TV produced a video documentary on Virago Project which was broadcast internationally.
