SUMMARY:Decoding and Reimagining Posthuman Identity Exhibition by Oonagh Fitzgerald
DESCRIPTION:A mixed media art exhibition and social engagement\, prepared by Oonagh E. Fitzgerald and presented by LePARC\, from November 29th to December 3rdGALLERY HOURS: 12:00 PM to 6:00 PMFINISSAGE: December 3rd\, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM \n\n\n\nThrough participatory mixed media art projects\, Oonagh explores the material relations between international law\, art and governance. With found wood and bark\, plastic waste\, wood and fabric scraps\, string and thread\, paper and prefabricated masks\, clay\, water- and oil-based paints\, Oonagh investigates posthuman identity and imagination in times of global environmental\, health\, social\, economic\, political\, and technological crisis.   \n\n\n\nMaking\, performing\, and engaging in complex and elaborate human-material-technological assemblages\, Oonagh seeks to connect materials and people and generate new insights and inspiration for tackling global problems and contributing to a more sustainable\, equitable and just posthuman era. \n\n\n\nThis transdisciplinary research practice builds on philosophical frameworks (postmodernism\, posthumanism\, new materialism\, speculative futures\, and colonial legacy\, gender\, and critical legal studies)\, and methodologies of research-creation\, autoethnography\, case study\, and socially engaged art. The projects seek to decode meaning and reimagine identity\, solidarity\, resistance\, and resilience in the face of the multiple crises of the Anthropocene. \n\n\n\nAll are welcome to come to enjoy the exhibit and contribute to decoding and recoding posthuman meanings\, values\, and identities. \n\n\n\nOonagh Fitzgerald  B.F.A. (Hon.)\, LL.B.\, LL.M.\, S.J.D.\, M.B.A.\, is an INDI PhD in Fine Arts student at Concordia University\, under the supervision of Professor Eldad Tsabary and a member of LePARC. She brings to her performance and visual research-creation artworks her experience as dancer\, choreographer and visual artist; senior executive and international lawyer in the federal government; university sessional lecturer; and director of international law research at a think tank. \n\n\n\nEnthusiastic about exploring international law\, art\, and governance\, Oonagh has interviewed for national and international news media\, written and edited books\, essay series and articles\, and spoken publicly on topics including research-creation and participant-based art projects\, corporate citizenship\, gender equality\, Indigenous people’s rights\, climate change and technological innovation.  \n\n\n\nShe is a Senior Fellow at the Human Rights Research and Education Centre\, co-chair of the Canadian Environmental Domestic Advisory Group\, and a director of the International Law Association of Canada.

SUMMARY:'Ether' by Genevieve Collins
DESCRIPTION:An immersive sensory environment that explores the possibilities of sensory perception in outer space— \n\n\n\nDATES: December 3rd to the 8th\, CLOSED ON THE 5THHOURS: 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM EST \n\n\n\nDue to COVID\, it is necessary to email sensoryfutures@gmail.com in advance to schedule a visit and receive a copy of the consent form and project description. \n\n\n\nDrawing inspiration from speculative habitat design\, scientific studies\, and science fiction\, Ether asks questions such as: what does Martian water taste like\, what does the layered atmosphere of Venus smell like\, and how might a non-terrestrial entity register the elements of the Voyager Golden Record? Using sensory ethnography as a guiding method\, this project encourages participants to reflect on their unique sensory experiences and perhaps even imagine a more than human subjectivity.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibition will take place at L’Institut de tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ) at 3535 Saint Denis from December 3rd – 8th. Visitors are asked to participate in a small group discussion after engaging with the exhibition\, and the entire experience will take approximately 45 minutes. A maximum of 3 participants may engage at once\, so please feel free to indicate in your email if you would like to schedule a group visit.  \n\n\n\nThis research is inspired by immersive multi-modal exhibitions created by Chris Salter and David Howes\, such as Displace\, a performative sensory environment designed to engage and combine the senses. Drawing on their research creation methods\, this project combines visuals\, acoustics\, aromas\, tastes\, and tactile sensations to craft a particular sensory atmosphere that participants may find compelling\, confounding\, or blissfully disorienting. The concluding small group discussions offer participants the opportunity to share their unique experiences in the immersive environment and reflect on how their sensory perception may have been subverted\, altered\, or ‘reconfigured’ (Howes & Salter 2016). \n\n\n\nGenevieve Collins is an MA student in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Concordia University. Her research interests include sensory studies\, futures anthropology\, and astronautical space futures. Her MA thesis project is directed by Professor David Howes and funded by the Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)\, Fonds de recherche du Québec – Nature et technologies (FRQNT)\, ExperiSens\, le centre collégial de transfert de technologie (CCTT) de l’Institut de tourisme et d’hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ). \n\n\n\nPlease email sensoryfutures@gmail.com for more information and to schedule a visit.

SUMMARY:Virtual Ethnography or Doing Ethnography Virtually? A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nA hybrid collaborative workshop presented by the Lab for Latin American and the Caribbean Studies\, the Research Team on Inclusion and Governance in Latin America – ÉRIGAL\, and our very own Concordia Ethnography Lab. \n\n\n\nIn this interdisciplinary workshop\, we will discuss the evolving craft of virtual ethnography\, and how this expanding field can shed light to virtual ethnography methodologies and approaches during COVID-19 travel and gathering restrictions. \n\n\n\nWhile the workshop was originally thought up and tailored for students currently confronting virtuality when their preliminary research was constructed otherwise\, we plan on discussing research methodologies anchored in virtuality prior to the onset of the pandemic\, as well as describing the process of transitioning from in-person to online research and practice. It is our hope that students\, artists\, and researchers alike will take inspiration\, tips and hope from this workshop\, and be able to expand their ethnography practices in the current state of affairs. \n\n\n\nFeatured speakers at this methodology workshop are Milieux’s directorDr. Bart Simon (Associate Professor Social and Cultural Analysis)\, Dr. Stefanie Duguay (Assistant Professor\, Department of Communication Studies\, DIGS Lab and Milieux)\, and student presenters Kathryn Jezer Morton (Ph.D. student in Social and Cultural Analysis)\, and our very own social media assistant Ariana Seferiades (Recent graduate\, MA Anthropology). The session will be moderated by Dr. Kregg Hetherington (Associated Professor\, Sociology and Anthropology). \n\n\n\nThis event will take place in person at the Ethnography Lab as well as online (via Zoom). TO RSVP\, please email info@erigal.org.

SUMMARY:Radhika Govindrajan Talk: 'Spectral Justice: Multispecies Haunting and Accountability in Himalayan India'
DESCRIPTION:The third 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\nUniversity of Washington Associate Professor Radhika Govindrajan presents Spectral Justice: Multispecies Haunting and Accountability in Himalayan India\, which will explore the topics from her book Animal Intimacies: Interspecies Relatedness in India’s Central Himalayas (University of Chicago Press\, 2018).  \n\n\n\nRadhika Govindrajan is a cultural anthropologist who works across the fields of multispecies ethnography\, environmental anthropology\, the anthropology of religion\, South Asian Studies\, and political anthropology. Her research is motivated by a longstanding interest in understanding how human relationships with nonhumans in South Asia are variously drawn into and shape broader issues of cultural\, political\, and social relevance: religious nationalism; elite projects of environmental conservation and animal-rights; everyday ethical action in a time of environmental decline; and people’s struggle for social and political justice in the face of caste discrimination\, patriarchal domination\, and state violence and neglect.

SUMMARY:'Returning to the Trees' Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Returning to the Trees—the Technological Burnout Crisis (Schizzing the Opera Practice and Narrative) is the 19th proposition/piece in the Ph.D. thesis: Composing with the Event—Techniques that Move Toward Neurodiverse Perception/Sensation. \n\n\n\nThe proposition/piece is also part of the SSHRC funded research project RISE (Reflective Iterative Scenario Enactments) led by Dr. Eldad Tsabary. \n\n\n\nRISE’s theme of the year\, “Technological Crises”\, sparked a desire to schizz the field; to explore how to find activation when starting from a neurotypical figure such as “theme”\, “topic” and/or “narrative”. Furthermore\, a reimagining of the opera medium was called for. This appetite for practicing the schizz\, the desiring-machine\, took hold of these (pre-)figures and\, through play (pushing\, pulling\, dismantling\, deconstructing)\, lured them into a field of activity\, transforming them from static to operational. By refraining from the neurotypical tendency to parse and harden experience (to categorize and to represent)\, the field of relation can then be felt. \n\n\n\nThe schizosomatic proposition’s offer was to be composed by the event; to let be felt the event orienting itself towards a collective attunement and emergent ecology\, creating the conditions for trans-sensory (and nonsensuous) qualities to co-compose constellations. \n\n\n\nCarrying germs of experience across event-times\, this panopticon of technological form-taking demonstrates how the proposition folded onto itself; the suggestion of a moving away from technology activated those very qualities in the eventing. The vitality affect running through the material is felt in how the qualities co-compose across the 9 video angles impressionistically—form and subject blurring\, releasing the qualities of forming felt. \n\n\n\nHow can you participate? Attend the screening in person (there is a max capacity of 20 people in the space) or watch online by registering for the Zoom meeting or watching live on our YouTube channel.
