REFLECTING
SUNLIGHT:
REFLECTING ON
THE CLIMATE.
Professional artists reflect on key sites in the climate dialogue, through the medium of sunlight.
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.
"I've never been here, its so much wilder than I thought it would be . . . the birds and the natural sounds are overwhelming."
"It was making me see myself as complicit in all of these systems, but in such a tender way."
Art IS A PROVEN
AND EFFECTIVE CATALYST
FOR CULTURAL CHANGE.
