SUMMARY:Andil Gosine | Nature’s Wild: Love\, Sex\, and Law in the Caribbean
DESCRIPTION:With discussants Drs. Nalini Mohabir & Jesse ArseneaultThe second in a series of talks planned collaboratively by SPAM\, CARG\, and CRIE: Critical Anthropocene Speaker Series: Global\, Decolonial\, Critical Race Approaches for a Multispecies World \n\n\n\nIn Nature’s Wild\, the Trinidad-born scholar-artist contends with his own animality. The story begins in his classroom at an all-boys Catholic high school in Trinidad\, when a priest points to a row of boys and demands\, “Prove to me that you are not homosexual.” From there\, Gosine takes us on a journey that mixes personal narrative with historical analysis of the ways in which anxieties about humans’ animality have produced various kinds of disciplinary strategies in law and culture. Grappling with how the demarcation of a line between human and non-human nature has been specifically deployed since the beginning of the colonial encounter\, Gosine draws from historical and contemporary visual art representations\, dress code regulations and recent legal challenges to the criminalization of sodomy\, to reach consider the signigicance of embracing one’s “wild nature” in the context of global ecological crisis. \n\n\n\nAndil Gosine is Professor of Environmental Arts and Justice at York University. The companion touring exhibition for his book Nature’s Wild will launch in Port of Spain\, Trinidad\, in January 2022. He is also curator of everything slackens in a wreck-\, which  will open at the Ford Foundation Gallery in New York next Spring.

SUMMARY:Jill Didur | The Global Urban Wilds (GUW) (App Launch)
DESCRIPTION:October 15th\, at 4:00 PM—Presented as part of MTLConnectThe Global Urban Wilds App launch In person at the Champ des Possibles; meet in the Champ by the benches on the pedestrian walkway between de Gaspé and Henri-Julienhttps://goo.gl/maps/HVHzYGSkhcGLGvAJ8 \n\n\n\nThe Global Urban Wilds (GUW) locative platform curates ruderal landscapes that survive in city spaces and invites the user to explore the entanglement of urban biodiversity\, site remediation\, and settler culture in contexts such as Montreal’s Champ des Possibles. The site-specific\, GPS-enabled locative sound walk and app affords users experiences of “embodied knowing” – learning through encounter\, awareness\, physicality – in urban wilds that represent informal brown/green spaces on the edges of urban development. Users move through the urban wild and interact with app’s haptic\, sound and visual content to gain further insight into the community’s history and commitment to this protected green space.The GUW project is downloadable for remote and in-person testing in Montreal’s Champ des Possibles for this launch event. You can download the app for testing as of RIGHT NOW here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/QkXA11FD \n\n\n\nDr. Jill Didur is a Full Professor in English at Concordia University and co-director of the Speculative Life cluster at the Milieux Institute. She is the Principal Investigator of a SSHRC Insight Grant\, Greening Narrative (2014-2023)\, that explores how locative and mobile media can enhance our understanding of the relationship between the discourses of natural history\, globalization\, and contemporary perceptions of the environment and sustainability. \n\n\n\nIf you need more information regarding the event\, please contact Jill directly at jill.didur@concordia.ca

SUMMARY:Workshop: Volumetric Video Dance Extravaganza! (3 sessions open!)
DESCRIPTION:This is a limited opportunity to have a little hands-on experience with the elusive Azure Kinect volumetric camera! \n\n\n\nIn this 2 hour workshop we will create a 30-second volumetric video dance using the Azure Kinect camera with After Effects and DepthKit software. Students will go through each step of setting the capturing space with green-screen\, cleaning the video and previewing the final results in a VR headset.Future workshops will look at converting volumetric videos like this to your mobile device\, and changing environments so you can dance anywhere you can imagine!3 sessions are available:Thursday October 28\, 10:00am (3 participants max)Thursday October 28\, 1:00pm (3 participants max)Friday October 29\, 10:00am (3 participants max) \n\n\n\nLocation: Immersive Reality Lab 1515 Rue Sainte-Catherine W.

SUMMARY:Pigment Precipitation: Making Organic Colors [ONLINE]
DESCRIPTION:Pigments are brightly colored\, insoluble powders that can be used in a variety of art forms. They can be extracted from minerals\, coal\, or most often than not\, they are synthesized out of petroleum compounds. In the spirit of promulgating sustainable practices in the lab\, this workshop aims at teaching you how to make your own pigments\, using botanical matter and food leftovers instead.   \n\n\n\nUsing plants that you can find in your garden or your compost pile\, Amélie Bélanger from the STAIN Lab is going to demonstrate an easy step-by-step method for lake pigment extraction. Using only a few ingredients that are readily available on the market\, you will be able to create your own shades and transform them into watercolor\, paints\, gouaches\, or include them in your next bio-plastic recipe!  \n\n\n\nThe demo/workshop will be 1h30 hour long allowing time for questions and discussion.   \n\n\n\nWhere: Speculative Life BioLab via ZOOM.  \n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday October 28th 3:30pm \n\n\n\nDemo presented by the STAIN Lab. \n\n\n\n*There are no prerequisites for this workshop\, however registration is required. Please email tm.support@concordia.ca to register. Zoom links will be emailed to all registered participants.
