About Listening in Relation
The Only Animal is teaming up with artist-activist, researcher and educator Julie Andreyev, alongside faculty and students at Emily Carr University and the Canadian Association for Sound Ecology, to explore how listening, sound-making and land-based material art practices can help foster care for more-than-human lifeworlds. You can join us in sound walks, improvisation workshops, a reading group, natural dye workshops and botanical printmaking, and more. Participating artists/facilitators include Rita Kompst, Toni-Leah C. Yake, Anju Singh, Adrian Avendaño, Lara Felsing and the Branching Songs Ensemble. Events are free and open to the public, but registration is required. If you would like to be added to a mailing list to receive updates on this program, please e-mail info@theonlyanimal.com
Listening in Relation is supported through: an Art + Design Mobilize: Creativity and Innovation for Partnered Research grant, ECU-RIO NSERC Mobilize; and The Basically Good Media Lab
