REFLECTING
SUNLIGHT:
REFLECTING ON
THE CLIMATE.
Professional artists reflect on key sites in the climate dialogue, through the medium of sunlight.
In a time of fierce debate and high stakes, ANGLES OF CONSEQUENCE invests in the power of the arts by inviting artists to make works with reflected sunlight, using custom mirrors.
We invite professional artists to make work in dialogue with key climate sites, and support their work through performance design and management.
Supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the LePARC Performing Arts Research Cluster at Concordia University, and the efforts of a group of artists and academics, ANGLES OF CONSEQUENCE seeks accountability and visibility for organizations with outsized impacts on our climate– both positive and negative.
