A 5 à SAT focused on inclusive design bringing together the Living Lab in immersion and the new Department of Design at ÉTS to celebrate the launch of their new collaboration. At the intersection of academic research and field experimentation, this initiative aims to explore, experiment with, and create more accessible and inclusive immersive experiences. This event is intended to be a forum for discussion and bringing together communities affected by this issue. Goal: open up the discussion, get to know you, and discover your projects. RSVP (free) and full feature via the link in the bio.

The third workshop of the 'Reimagining Research' Spring Workshop Series. This workshop will allow participants to re-imagine and transform photographs, digital images and other works through Polaroid emulsion lifts. Exploring the materiality of film and photographic practice, participants will work directly with the image of their choosing, lifting, folding, stretching and tearing it. The process of emulsion lifting briefly reduces the image to a ghostly film to then be bonded to another material such as paper, cardboard, or fabric. This physical manipulation of imagery provides a framework to discuss transparencies/opacities of identity and selfhood, thinking through ideas of disclosure and (mis)recognition. Participants are invited to bring pre-existing digital images that can be printed on Polaroid film, or to take photos on site to experiment with the process. Spaces are limited. Please RSVP to Marc Beaulieu marc.beaulieu@concordia.ca and include within the subject line 'Ghostly Image'.

Artists talk between artist Paola Pivi and Kanika Anand, Senior Curator at Contemporary Calgary
