A five-week visual arts residency inviting artists to explore how places sing, how memory persists in vibration and how listening to the land can re-orient ethical and political relations. The program draws on acoustic ecology concepts and uses the Banff mountains as inspiration to explore how sound activates multiple temporalities shaped by land use, migration, ecological disruption and colonial infrastructures. Participants will reflect on ecological and ethical listening and sounding while developing theoretical concepts and artistic ideas through independent research, faculty-led activities, one-to-one mentorship, technical skill development and peer learning.
Visual artists or duos working in ceramics, digital media, painting, drawing, printmaking, papermaking, performance art, photography, sculpture or installation at any stage of their career who have completed post-secondary formal training or equivalent experience.
Open to artists anywhere.
