Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.
― Arundhati Roy
In the context of the Climate Emergency, and timed with the end of the financial year, FLOW is an exhibition exploring what a better future looks like.
As a medium of exchange, the word currency is derived from the word current, the origin of which was curraunt meaning flowing (c. 1300). Like thriving ecosystems, healthy economies depend on healthy flows of life sustaining resources.
Examining the flow between money, politics, information and power, artwork in FLOW poses critical questions about financial flows, reminds us of the vital interconnections and interdependencies between all life, and shows the profound possibilities of economic systems based on respect and reciprocity.
Participating artists Melissa Corbett, Rod Gray, Pam Kleemann-Passi, Linda Knight, Jo Lane, Carolyn Lewens, Jenny McCracken, Sarah Metzner, Paul Prato, Jen Rae, Bronwyn Razem, Louise Rippert, Adam Stone, Giselle Wilkinson. Creative Producer Deborah Hart.
Exhibition Details: Where: CLIMARTE Gallery, 120 Bridge Rd, Richmond When: 31 May – 1 July 2023
FLOW Artist Talks at CLIMARTE Gallery (more details to come):

(humming to urban drones)
This is Dr. Decibel. Your sonic superhero on the unseated ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations otherwise known as… Well, I think you know where I am.
(plane passing by)
You have a problem here people. The low frequencies are excessive : traffic, industry, ventilation. Layers and layers of rumble and I hate rumble.
Rumbleeeee is not something that I enjoy, so I’m going to use my superpowers today to reduce the amount of rumble in your city.
Ruuuuumble… (imitation of rumbling sounds)
And I’m gonna do that with my superpowers.
Now, it’s hard to remove low frequencies from an environment where they’re everywhere, but I can do it and I’ll show you. You should be able to hear it. The tricky thing for me is that it takes a lot of energy to do that. So here we go.
Mmmmmmmm (grunting)
Can you hear a difference?
Let me try again
Mmmmmmmm (grunting)
one more time, with all my might
Rumble. remove yourselves. return. this. environment. to it’s. natural. state.
(fade out of low frequencies)
I don’t feel so well. I might have absorbed too many low frequencies…

In this episode I improvised a speech by a superhero, dr, decibel, who wants to remove some of the rumble in the city of Vancouver so that other sounds can emerge.
This improvisation was recorded on March 7, 2023 at Stanley Park, Vancouver.
I am grateful and accountable to the earth and the human labour that provided me with the privilege of producing this episode. (including all the toxic materials and extractive processes behind the computers, recorders, transportation and infrastructure that make this podcast possible).

About the Concient Podcast from Claude Schryer
The conscient podcast / balado conscient is a series of conversations about art, conscience and the ecological crisis. This podcast is bilingual (in either English or French). The language of the guest determines the language of the podcast. Episode notes are translated but not individual interviews.
I started the conscient project in 2020 as a personal learning journey and knowledge sharing exercise. It has been rewarding, and sometimes surprising.
The term “conscient” is defined as “being aware of one’s surroundings, thoughts and motivations”. My touchstone for the podcast is episode 1, e01 terrified, based on an essay I wrote in May 2019, where I share my anxiety about the climate crisis and my belief that arts and culture can play a critical role in raising public awareness about environmental issues. The conscient podcast / balado conscient follows up on my http://simplesoundscapes.ca (2016-2019) project: 175, 3-minute audio and video field recordings that explore mindful listening.
season 1 (may – october 2020) : environmental awareness and action Season 1 (May to October 2020) explored how the arts contribute to environmental awareness and action. I produced 3 episodes in French and 15 in English. The episodes cover a wide range of content, including activism, impact measurement, gaming, arts funding, cross-sectoral collaborations, social justice, artistic practices, etc. Episodes 8 to 17 were recorded while I was at the Creative Climate Leadership USA course in Arizona in March 2020 (led by Julie”s Bicycle). Episode 18 is a compilation of highlights from these conversations.
season 2 (march – august 2021 ) : reality and ecological grief Season 2 (March 2021 ) explores the concept of reality and is about accepting reality, working through ecological grief and charting a path forward. The first episode of season 2 (e19 reality) mixes quotations from 28 authors with field recordings from simplesoundscapes and from my 1998 soundscape composition, Au dernier vivant les biens. One of my findings from this episode is that “I now see, and more importantly, I now feel in my bones, “the state of things as they actually exist”, without social filters or unsustainable stories blocking the way”. e19 reality touches upon 7 topics: our perception of reality, the possibility of human extinction, ecological anxiety and ecological grief, hope, arts, storytelling and the wisdom of indigenous cultures. The rest of season 2 features interviews with thought leaders about their responses and reactions to e19 reality.
season 3 (october 2021 – february 2022 ) : radical listening Season 3 was about radical listening : listening deeply without passing judgment, knowing the truth and filtering out the noise and opening attention to reality and responding to what needs to be done. The format is similar the first podcast format I did in 2016 with the simplesoundscapes project, which was to ‘speak my mind’ and ‘think out loud’. I start this season with a ‘soundscape composition’, e63 a case study (part 1) and e64 a case study (part 2), a bilingual speculative fiction radio play, set in an undergraduate university history seminar course called ‘History of 2021 in Canada’. It concluded with a soundscape composition ‘Winter Diary Revisited’.

About
I’ve been retired from the Canada Council for the Arts since September 15, 2020 where I served as a senior strategic advisor in arts granting (2016-2020) and manager of the Inter-Arts Office (1999-2015). My focus in (quasi) retirement is environmental issues within my area of expertise in arts and culture, in particular in acoustic ecology. I”m open to become involved in projects that align with my values and that move forward environmental concerns. Feel free to email me for a conversation :
Creative Carbon Scotland is partnering with Perth Theatre and Concert Hall on a new project with artist and filmmaker Helen McCrorie to explore and address how audiences travel to and from the venues.
Created through funding from sustainable and active travel organisation Paths for All, Transforming Audience Travel Through Art is a 12-month project that seeks to address challenges around audience travel with a view to identifying more sustainable options.
An artist and filmmaker based in Perth & Kinross, and an activist with Climate Action Strathearn, Helen McCrorie collaborates with community groups to make work that explores radical human ecologies, including outdoor learning and community buyouts.
The project will see Helen organising, researching and conducting workshops with repeat attendees of Perth Theatre and Concert Hall, to learn about their transport methods and travel experiences.
Helen will use her creative methods to document how audiences travel to and from the venues, build a community of interest, and co-create artistic work that will showcase the benefits of, and barriers to, sustainable travel and promote a positive attitude to sustainability. The project will culminate in two sharing events with Perth Theatre and Concert Hall audience members and staff, along with local decision-makers.
This will work alongside and feed into a promotional campaign delivered by Perth Theatre and Concert Hall, highlight events that will promote sustainable travel choices and advocate for local policy decisions that will facilitate these choices.
Calculations show that for Perth Theatre and Concert Hall – and equivalent organisations – audience travel to and from the venues is one of the largest sources of emissions associated with their work. The organisation does not have direct control over how people travel to their buildings, but they can facilitate and encourage more sustainable travel choices.
Helen McCrorie said:
“I live in a rural community in Perth & Kinross and the bus service is a lifeline, but it’s woefully inadequate. Regular, affordable public transport is essential for climate and social justice. I’m an activist with local group Climate Action Strathearn. We have been responding to council and government climate pledges and consultations and we are seeking urgent momentum for sustainable transport. I’m excited to be able to combine my art practice with activism in this project.”
Ben Twist, Director of Creative Carbon Scotland, said:
“If Scotland is going to reach net zero, we need to fix transport, which is now the country’s biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions and the only one that’s growing. If this innovative project can help transform the ways audiences travel to shows that’s a step, not only towards reducing a major source of a venue’s emissions, but to reducing the country’s transport emissions overall. We’re very pleased to be involved and hope this project will provide a model for venues elsewhere in Scotland looking to make change locally.”
Nick Williams, Chief Executive of Perth Theatre and Concert Hall said:
“As an organisation that is working to improve the environmental impact of our operations and influencing broader decarbonisation efforts in the area, it is important to take notice of how our audiences travel and the alternative options available to them. Transforming Audience Travel Through Art is an opportunity to talk directly to visitors to our venues to identify the challenges and barriers they face when attending events. We’re delighted to be working with Helen McCrorie to deliver the message in a creative and collaborative way.”
The project will run from May 2023 until March 2024, starting with a survey to audiences about how they travel to the venues. You can find more information on our Transforming audience travel through art project page.
Transforming audience travel through art is funded by Smarter Choices Smarter Places, which is Paths for All’s programme to increase active and sustainable travel throughout Scotland. The programme is grant-funded by Transport Scotland.
Paths for All is a charity and is the champion of everyday walking in Scotland. Paths for All’s vision is for a happier, healthier Scotland where physical activity improves quality of life and wellbeing for all.
This project is being run as part of our culture/SHIFT programme, which promotes how the arts and culture can transform society in response to climate change.

We’re looking for proposals to bring together the sustainable arts and culture community of Edinburgh with local climate and community partners to develop relationships that lead to local action addressing the climate emergency.
Creative Carbon Scotland’s Green Arts Initiative brings together more than 350 cultural organisations across Scotland who are committed to addressing the climate emergency. Members do this through understanding and reducing their environmental impact, adapting to climate change impacts, and working with their influence across the sector and among their audiences and participants.
Thanks to support from the City of Edinburgh Council, and following the Edinburgh SPRINGBOARD local assembly held in November 2022, we’re seeking a partner cultural organisation within Edinburgh to lead on developing the emerging citywide SPRINGBOARD network with the curation and delivery of activities to be held throughout 2023-24 to consolidate the network’s collaboration for action. For example, this might include a small number of gatherings to connect cultural organisations with climate and community players to build relationships and share knowledge in such a way that Edinburgh’s cultural organisations and artists develop their skills and capacity to address the climate emergency.
We can offer £1800 and some support in kind around promotion and communication for this work as well as support for connections with climate partners. There is an opportunity to collaborate with Edinburgh Climate Action Network (part of Scottish Communities Climate Action Network) to reach and work with community partners and we can support directly with climate contacts where useful. Climate justice and by extension equality, diversity and inclusion are important themes in our work so we’re keen to work with a partner who can demonstrate similar priorities within their plans, ensuring the diversity and breadth of Edinburgh’s cultural scene is both represented and considered in the planned gatherings. We would also draw attention to our Safe Working Statement, which we expect any proposed activities to use.
We expect this opportunity to appeal to an Edinburgh-based cultural organisation or potentially a freelancer with capacity and contacts to organise and develop a network.
SPRINGBOARD local assemblies aim to optimise collaboration for creative climate action, building networks to share knowledge and skills that enable culture to play its part in the wider shift to a just and green future for all.
How to apply
