This talk creates an opportunity for a deeper dive into the connecting themes across the Winter Arts Festival artworks, from secret languages and nonhuman communication, to technology and history in public space.
The evening will start off with a keynote by the award-winning multidisciplinary artist, musician, composer and sound designer Ruby Singh who will be discussing his latest projects of translating electronic currents of living plants and mushrooms into music. After a short break, we will invite Winter Arts Festival artists, curators, and community members to join a conversation around the themes of winter, storytelling, and public art in the context of the dual curatorial theme of the festival, Light and Language.

We acknowledge that this event takes place on the traditional lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən speaking peoples: Songhees Nation and xʷsepsəm (Esquimalt) Nation.
We ask that you take a moment to consider the history of the land that we gather on, your relations with local Indigenous people, and what each of us can do to foster meaningful reconciliation now and into the future.
