Interdisciplinary artists, Olivia Brouwer and Dawn Matheson, collaborate with CNIB to host a free accessible sensory-led nature walk and creative workshop in Waterloo at the Walter Bean Grand River Trail and Waterloo Public Library Eastside Branch for participants who are blind and partially sighted. The workshop will involve the creation of sound-activated mixed media sculptures based on recordings and sensory activities within the natural environment. Saturday, May 25 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Walter Bean Grand River Trail.

Participants are invited to explore Jordan Danger’s newest solo exhibition which explores conversations with AI to collaborate on ideas, emotions, and politics. The end result: unique and sometimes eerie works. Sculptures will be handheld so that participants can enjoy the works to the fullest.
