Arboratory: Acoustic Arboretum

Curator/Artist: Kim Farris-Manning

This exhibit features forest stewards and community members from the Ottawa-Gatineau region. Their stories of connection with forests are shared through local trees- made into resonating bodies with transducers (small electronic devices), offering visitors an intimate, immersive experience. Folks can lean, touch, feel, watch and listen to the stories and leave impressions, questions and thoughts in the zine notebooks at each respective station.
