Hello neighbours!
Mia + Eric here (803).
We wanted to invite you to our exhibition, In a Strange Place, that is showing at Contemporary Calgary November 7 – February 9.
This work comes out of a multi-year community engagement process we ran in Norway, Germany, and England (and a bit of Canada too). The work is about the future of our forests and the people who care for woodlands in each of the different regions. In a Strange Place is made up of 150 forest caretakers doing slow improvised dances of their work in local forests.
The Sunnyhill connection:
Mia + Eric were the lead artists on the project.
The music for In a Strange Place was composed by Sunnyhill’s very own Kris Demeanor (789)—and it is gorgeous.
Rachel Rose (807) came with us to England last spring as our Artistic Assistant. Rachel ran workshops that prepared 30 forest caretakers for their performances on camera. Rachel’s job was to get people to slow down! And did she ever!
