Artists: Ashley Bowa + Lesley Marshall
Saturday, February, 29th, 2020
12 pm – 5 pm: Exhibition
2 pm: workshop / performance (registration is mandatory)
3 pm: Discussion
At Studio XX
Combining an immersive and interactive installation, a meditative movement session, and a discussion, Green Gazing proposes a community reflection on our relationship to living things and the systemic roots of environmental degradation. In a room filled with plants, Ashley and Lesley use data generated by the vegetation and the gestures of the participants to create a live audio and video work. The artists will then invite us to discuss the following questions: How can we revisit our relationship with the non-human world? What are the systemic biases reproduced by environmental movements? How can we move beyond the notion of individual well-being to imagine communities of resistance?

The artists would like to acknowledge funding support from the Ontario Arts Council, an agency of the Government of Ontario.
