Program Description

Biophilia is a residency for artists interested in ecology and life sciences to interact with the living world. It will take place over a week in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada in the summer of 2020. The residency will involve twice daily guided excursions into natural habitats for collection of materials and exploration of a wide range of Canadian wilderness. Expeditions into forests, wildlife sanctuaries, farms and research labs will be enriched by biologists, naturalists and specialists. 12 - 15 workshops, lectures and field trips are included.
