Keaton Leier (Aritsts Climate Collective)

My name is Keaton Leier. I am originally from Saskatoon SK, and received my professional training in classical ballet at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet School. I have now had a professional career as a leading dancer with the Atlanta Ballet for the past 5 years. I am currently transitioning back to my Canadian roots, and will be joining the ranks on the National Ballet of Canada this summer. I have taken a few courses in environmental studies and I am extremely passionate about the conservation of our earths ecosystems.

Danielle Manuel

Saint John-based creator, Danielle Manuel, is creating and learning in the unceded and traditional territory of the Wolastoqiyik and Mi’kmaw Nations. Her self-taught work holds many forms including digital art, mixed media, acrylic painting, felting, photography, and most recently, spore printing. She has experience in designing and creating art for an annual publication of poetry, designing album covers, large scale acrylic painting, murals, custom portraits, and other adventures.

ee portal

In 2011, ee portal (Elyse & Emilio Portal) initiated their collaboration with the multidisciplinary work, advanced life support unit, at the University of Victoria. As part of the installation the duo deconstructed the space, removing the gallery door to project shadow, a video that documents the movements of a woman (and friend) who was told she would never move her body again after a severe spinal cord injury. In the face of great adversity, she slowly regained access to her body through a movement therapy based on physics and somatic studies, called Feldenkrais. Founder, Moshe Feldenkrais said, “We move according to our perceived self-image.”

Fairything

Alex Masse, AKA Fairything, is a writer, musician, and student residing in what is colonially known as Surrey, BC. The arts are a longtime love of theirs, and they’ve recently begun intertwining it with their climate activism. They’re an alumnus of multiple programs from The Only Animal Theatre, including Art of Resistance and Greenhouse, as well as participating in other programs, such as Vines Art Festival’s Emerging Creatives. They’ve designed posters for protests, sculpted soundscapes for earthy installations, written many a poem about complicated relationships had with the land, and over their life pressed more flowers than they can count.

TRAction

TRAction is a dynamic collective of interdisciplinary artists who actively and publicly address issues of climate justice.

Although the projects are primarily facilitated and organized by Melanie Kloetzel and Kevin Jesuino, TRAction expands and contracts to include other interested allies, professionals, scientists, volunteers and artists who work at the intersection of art-making and climate change. Using diverse methods of artistic creation, TRAction addresses complex environmental issues and advocates for climate justice for all humans and species.

Alison Beaumont

Alison Beaumont is a multidisciplinary artist living on the traditional and unceded territory of the Sylix Okanagan peoples, her work is primarily focussed on climate awareness and her own experiences of connection to land and ecological sorrow. She hopes through art that she can inspire changes in our daily existence to avert the climate crisis. We all have a part to play, no matter how small. Incrementally changes build, if we preserve our forests and old growth, biodiversity can rebuild, if we consciously consume less, our resources and water can flourish again. Each small act builds and grows, the Earth will survive without us, but we cannot survive if we do not change our actions and ways of knowing and doing.

Gary A Crosby, Green Life Project

Gary Crosby is a very prolific artist. When you think about that statement, it would explain a lot about Gary. He likes to think of himself as an artist on a lifelong quest. To create a piece of artwork that needs no explanation. It is a work of art that grabs you and holds you in its tight grip, and you have a profound understanding of what is meant by the art. Climate Change is the largest globally destructive issue that the world is facing today. He is using his art to bring about change and provide an understanding of the issues of Climate Change. We are all in this together! We must all work together to heal the world.

Doro Buch

My name is Doro Buch, I’m a visual artist living and have been working in Calgary since 2012. Originally a social scientist, I blend my art with my interest in our society and the relationship between our built and natural environment. Since 2019, I am increasingly working on community engagement art projects: I value them as a great opportunity to bring people together, open dialog and inspire reflection.
