Join Anne Riley as she reflects on what matters, on creating art amid a pandemic, and on imagining alternatives to extractive practices.

Riley touches on her work as part of the Drift: Art and Dark Matter residency and exhibition that involved visiting SNOLAB鈥檚 deep underground astroparticle physics experiments that are 鈥渇eeling for鈥� dark matter. The depth and layers of soil and rock blanketing SNOLAB鈥檚 underground research facilities are essential for filtering out particles and radiation to aid the direct detection of dark matter. To make energetic space for healing and connecting with human and more than human relations, Riley鈥檚 artistic strategies suppress the 鈥渂ackground鈥� of colonial 鈥渘oise鈥� in science and art.

She speaks to dark matter garden, an installation that draws the Drift: Art and Dark Matter exhibition outside of the institution鈥檚 walls鈥攁nd out of institutional exhibition timelines鈥攐ffering an alternative to the Western ways of thinking about art and science, while engaging viewers in place-based thinking, land sensitivity, and reciprocity. The darkness and softness of soil are vital for plants to take root and sprout. Sign up to save your spot in this free program.
