Deep Gazing : Into the Blue, une performance de Horizon Factory (Erin Hill et Nina Vroemen). Dans le cadre de l'exposition Vent bleu, venez observer les nuages, le ciel et le vent lors d'une performance immersive des Sœurs de l'Ordre céleste de la Néphrologie, un ordre religieux fictif de observatrices atmosphériques menée par Horizon Factory. Inspiré par la compositrice expérimentale Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016) et ses pratiques de méditation sonore et d'écoute profonde, le concept de deep gazing, ou de « regard profond », développé par les Sœurs conjugue l'observation et l'identification des nuages à la prévision du futur, alliant environnement et spiritualité de façon à explorer le système relationnel, offrant aux outils to cultivate intimate and personal connections with the climate, the community, and les lieux. Alors que Pauline Oliveros pose la question « que signifie écouter ? », les Sœurs demandent ce que signifie regarder. As part of the exhibition Vent bleu, come learn to interpret the clouds, the sky and the wind in an immersive performance of The Sisters of the Celestial Order of Nephology, a fictional community of blue-clad Sisters led by Horizon Factory. Inspired by experimental composer Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016) and her practices of sound meditation and deep listening, the concept of deep gazing developed by the Sisters combines the observation and identification of clouds with the prediction of the future, blending environment and spirituality to explore the weather as a relational system, offering tools to cultivate intimate and personal connections with the climate, the community, and places. While Pauline Oliveros asks, 'What does it mean to listen?', the Sisters ask what it means to look. Free. Mandatory reservation here. Please carefully follow the instructions that will be sent to you as to prepare accordingly for the performance, which requires the use of an audio file on your own phone. The Sisters invite you to stay after the performance for refreshments and to share your experiences of celestial observation.

- Most jobs are never advertised, but shared through trust networks.

- Searching for work alone is a depressing.

- & Once you get a job, the boss sucks.

What to do? Team up to help each other find work and make it good with a union.

How will we do that:

1. Roundtable: everyone shares what kind of work they are looking for.

2. We discuss what kinds of networks, communities, or resources we have access to.

3. Everyone commits to carving out a small amount of time out of their own job search to help another member of the fam.

4. Got a job? know your rights + how to set up a union at your workplace.

Rinse and repeat.

La majorité des emplois sont jamais affichés; ça passe par du bouche-à-oreille.

Chercher du travail tout·e seul·e peut être démotivant.
...et quand tu trouves une job… le/la boss est poche.

On fait quoi? On s'entraide et on se supporte pour trouver une job — et la rendre meilleure avec un syndicat.
Comment on va faire ça :

Table ronde : chacun·e partage quel genre d'emploi ielle cherche.
On jase des réseaux, des communautés ou des ressources auxquelles on a accès.

Chaque personne s’engage à mettre un peu de temps, dans sa propre recherche de travail, pour aider quelqu’un d’autre dans le groupe.

T’as déjà un emploi? Connais tes droits + comment syndiquer ton milieu de travail.
