Join me on April 19th at 811 (233 Spadina), where I'm guest-curating an event on animal-human relations in urban contexts.
With Toronto's Chinatown pigeon as a starting point, three panelists will discuss their work in the context of larger issues around everyday ideologies, definitions and classifications of nature and the future of biodiversity in the age of the anthropocene. Listen to the panel while enjoying some traditional Chinese fried squab and dove-themed cocktails.
The food (graciously bred by Richview Farms, and prepared by Chinatown's Pho Hung) and drinks will start at 3:30 pm, the panel go from 4 to 5 pm. The panelists will be Mitch Akiyama, a sound artist and scholar, Chloé Roubert and Mark Peck, ornithologist at the Royal Ontario Museum and curator of "Empty Skies: the Passenger Pigeon Legacy."
