ANGLES OF CONSEQUENCE invests in the power of the arts by inviting artists to make works with reflected sunlight.

We invite professional artists to make work in dialogue with key climate sites, and support their work through research, 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. 

"Definitely touching, and made me grieve in a deeper way."
A large blue and white textile with a pattern of silhouetted figures is hung up outside. The fabric is a deep blue with white human-like silhouettes and circular shapes. In the foreground, green bushes and tall grass are growing. The bottom of the textile appears to be touching the ground.

"How do we remember places the sun can't touch anymore?" at the wild park Boise Steinberg

"I've never been here, its so much wilder than I thought it would be . . . the birds and the natural sounds are overwhelming."
A medium-close, eye-level shot of a person's reflection in a large, irregularly shaped mirror, set up outdoors. The person's face is partially visible in the mirror, with colorful, geometric face paint in shades of green and red. The person's right hand and arm are in the foreground, with their index finger extended towards the mirror. In the background, there is a lush, green forest with trees and tall grasses.

"It was making me see myself as complicit in all of these systems, but in such a tender way."
A low-angle, full-body shot of two people standing in a grassy field with their backs to the camera. They are both wearing light green jumpsuits and holding large, circular mirrors above their heads with both hands. The mirrors reflect a field with trees and a building in the distance. The people are surrounded by tall green foliage and wildflowers.
