Many of the stereotypes that we retain today about other cultures have found their roots in the art and exhibitions of museums and their colonial histories. This three-part discussion will introduce how museums and galleries, and their exhibitions and collections practices are part of the complex framing of other cultures.

Lead Artist: Giorgio Magnanensi
Registration Required, Max 12 participants
In this sound Presentation/Workshop, Giorgio Magnanensi will showcase the potential of using resonating objects and various materials to craft audio resonators. These resonators find their applications in playful sound explorations, performances, and multichannel audio diffusion. Giorgio will further provide demonstrations of his personally crafted wooden resonators, which are created using reclaimed driftwood and discarded slabs sourced from mill operations on the Coast. Participants will have the chance to experience the distinctive qualities of these resonators firsthand, as they diffuse sound energy in all directions, creating an immersive and tangible sonic experience.
Surround yourself in art, literary voices, and live music by the lovely sea wall. Immerse yourself in one or more of fourteen workshops for artists, photographers and writers. This August 10-13th at the Gibsons Public Market, let the magic happen again.
