Future Forests Residency

Curated by Tara Nicholson, with artists Kai Choufour, Darren Fleet, Julya Hajnoczky, Caolan Leander, Leah McInnis, Jennifer Stillwell, prOphecy Sun, and Hjalmer Wenstob.

This four-week interdisciplinary residency in 2022 supported 8 BC artists, designed to immerse these artists in the Creston Community Forest and connect to future-thinking about the role of the forest.  This collaborative project inspired and extended Nicolson’s land-based practice that includes exhibitions, teaching, residencies and the start of her PhD research. This cohort of artists were challenged to make work about a contemporary, future-thinking ecosystem.
