About this Event
Audiences are invited to experience art and music together in one of Ottawa's oldest churches.
About Positive World: Ottawa by way of Amsterdam, Copenhagen, New York and Milan, People of Meat’s free parties under the series name “Positive World” in co-ops worldwide are now in Ottawa with funky and fun music at all speeds. They boldly craft unique merch, explosive radio mixes and overnight raves based around pure positivity and music.
About Plasticscapes: An inflated structure overtakes the space, reaching up towards the sun. An altar of hope and a room to inhabit, Plastiscapes by Studio Rat explores the infinite dichotomies held within plastic that exist at odds with one another: the ancient and futuristic, mundane and magical, intimate and industrial, malleable and fixed. The artists forgo industrial forms of recycling as foraged plastics are pressed, fused, cut, and quilted, bringing disparate materials together into a coherent whole. When activated with air, plastic becomes a landscape for a speculative inquiry, exploring pasts, presents and futures of this storied material that overwhelms and presses down around us.
This program is part of the Ontario Culture Days 2026 Creatives in Residence series, curated by Farida Abu-Bakare.
