Listening in Relation

CASE is teaming up with artist, researcher, educator and CASE board member Julie Andreyev, alongside faculty and students at Emily Carr University (ECU), U of Laval and The Only Animal, to investigate how listening, sound-making and land-based material art practices can help foster care for more-than-human lifeworlds. The project will explore sound walks, improvisation workshops, readings, discussions, natural dye workshops and botanical printmaking. Participating artists/facilitators include Rita Kompst (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm [Musqueam]), Toni-Leah C. Yake (Kanyen’kehà:ka [Mohawk]), Anju Singh, Liz Ellis, Adrian Avendaño, Lara Felsing (Métis), Audiotopie and the Branching Songs Ensemble.

Events will take place in Quebec City and Vancouver and be shared in the CASE newsletter. Events are free and open to the public, but registration is required. If you would like to be added to a mailing list to receive updates on this program, please e-mail jandreyev@ecuad.ca or info@theonlyanimal.com.

Knowledge generated from the project will be collated at a roundtable event in March, 2025 and reported on the CASE website in summer 2025.
