Posted @withregram • @slo_lab Our first Artist H Posted @withregram • @slo_lab Our first Artist Highlight from the more-than-human exhibition curated by Jane Tingley. Introducing… Grace Grothaus!🦋 Grace is a fellow member of the SLOLab and is exhibiting her work, Dawning, for the first time at the more-than-human exhibition. Dawning identifies the circadian rhythm as a chorus that all creatures on the planet participate in. She visualizes the canopy of the forest, affected in real time by live forest data, inviting the human to join into a rhythmic global song that connects all living things.🌅
On Ethics of Care Saturday, March 25, 3:00-5:00 pm On Ethics of Care Saturday, March 25, 3:00-5:00 pm @fieldsinstitute Link in bio #Resituating more-than-human is a #sciart interdisciplinary program, bringing together academics, scientists, Indigenous knowledge keepers, artists and the general public to rethink ways to engage with the world of plants and other vegetal life - what we are calling the vegetal more-than-human Other. The program will take place at various locations in Toronto and at the rare Charitable Research Reserve in Cambridge, ON. We have envisioned this program as complementary to and as continuation of the group exhibition “more-than-human” currently on display at Onsite Gallery until May 13th, 2023. The program’s activities and events extends the themes of the exhibition, emphasizing their relevance beyond the arts, and fostering dialogues across disciplines and world views. "On Ethics of Care" is an interdisciplinary panel discussion that explores ethics of care embedded materially in the world, practices of sustainability between (non)humans – practices that are speculative, hopeful, and inclusionary. with : Grace Grothaus @gracegrothaus PhD candidate, York University Dr. Karine Gagné, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Guelph Dr. Keiko Yoshioka, Department of Cells and Systems Biology, University of Toronto

These are a Few of Our Favourite Bees investigates These are a Few of Our Favourite Bees investigates wild, native bees and their ecology through playful dioramas, video, audio, relief print and poetry. Inspired by lambe lambe – South American miniature puppet stages for a single viewer – four distinct dioramas convey surreal yet enlightening worlds where bees lounge in cozy environs, animals watch educational films and ethereal sounds animate bowls of berries (having been pollinated by their diverse bee visitors). Displays reminiscent of natural history museums invite close inspection, revealing minutiae of these tiny, diverse animals, our native bees. From thumb-sized to extremely tiny, fuzzy to hairless, black, yellow, red or emerald green, each native bee tells a story while her actions create the fruits of pollination, reflecting the perpetual dance of animals, plants and planet. With a special appearance by Toronto's official bee, the jewelled green sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens! #sciart #bees #campbellhouse #artscisalon #CMC #CanadianMusicCentre
