Hosting Slowness, with Sunshine Coast Arts Council
In summer 2025, The Only Animal’s artistic director Barbara Adler and the Sunshine Coast Arts Council are collaborating to convene an emergent artist residency that will emphasize accessibility, disability justice and connection with the land. Bringing together local artists and organizations alongside off-Coast guests, they’ll share a variety of “slow” events in relation to the growing season at accessible growing sites in Sechelt and Gibsons.
Informed by their hosting work, Meg Dewar (of the SCAC) and Barbara will continue artistic research, which include Meg’s “mosaic mending” project at the arts centre, and Barbara’s ongoing creation of eco-printed textile environments for live performance.
