Lobe Artist Residency Series: Seeds Created by Hazel Fairbairn and Kim Trainor November 1st | Doors and Soundbath from 7pm Official Show Start at 7.30pm Join us at Lobe Studio for the presentation of Seeds, in Lobe's Artist Residency Series, created by Hazel Fairbairn in collaboration with Kim Trainor. Hazel and Kim are delighted to have the opportunity to participate in this artist residency at Lobe, which offers the perfect space to explore connection, ecoculture, and the power of sound to transcend boundaries between species. Together they will be joined by Kei Tatsuno, who is currently studying in Douglas College’s Music Technology program and has a keen interest in the healing and therapeutic aspects of music. Using a combination of sampler, synthesizer, and recorded instruments, Kei will create a healing immersive sound bath to open Seeds at Lobe. Please note: We are unable to accommodate late-comers once the show has started, due to the nature of the performance. About Seeds The aesthetic object is inwardness as such—it is each thing as ‘I' ....I-sea angel, I-moon jelly, I-salp, I-frog, I-glass. In Seeds , Kim Trainor presents poetry films from her most recent collection, A blueprint for survival (Guernica Editions, 2024). Soundscapes are composed by Hazel Fairbairn, in consort with our more than human kin: tardigrade, raven, lentil, sea slug, oldgrowth specklebelly lichen, megaptera novaeangliae. Each organism is considered as a being in itself, offering inspiring models for human adaptation and survival in the face of ecological existential threat. These soundscapes are a form of co-making with other species, using filtered sounds, data transduction, and musical textures in an immersive exploration of the power of sound to connect. About Kim Trainor is a poet whose poetry films have screened at festivals worldwide, including at the Zebra Poetry Film Festival 2020 (Berlin), the 9th International Film Festival at +the Institute (Athens), as well as in Dublin, Seattle, Copenhagen, and Houston, Texas. Her work considers sympoiesis with our more-than-human kin. Hazel Fairbairn is a fiddle, viola, and violin player/sound artist, who works with electronic regenerations and manipulations of acoustic sources and instruments. With roots in Irish Folk music, and a PhD in ethnomusicology, Hazel is endlessly curious about the way sound connects cultures, migrations, and the natural world.

Join artists AJ Simmons and Kelty McKerracher for an evening of Flamenco dance that explores looping technology and live performance. Kin grew from the artists’ shared desire to queer the flamenco form, recognizing the kinship between queerness and flamenco – outsiders building worlds of joy, defiance, and community pride. Witness the ritual of finding impulses of flamenco through music, dance, and song; body, element, and earth; lineage and chosen family. This performance is followed by a talkback. Join them at KW Production Studio for this special event - mark your calendars and spread the word! Information Source: DTES Heart of the City Festival 2024 | eventbrite
