The Queer(y)ing Ecologies workshop series will create space for 2SLGBTQIA+ community members to explore relationships between queerness, land, and environmental care through art, storytelling, and dialogue. Guided by local queer artists, knowledge holders, and facilitators, participants will engage in creative and reflective activities that connect personal experience with broader ecological themes, such as belonging, resilience, and alternative ways of relating to nature. The workshops will foster community connection, amplify underrepresented voices in environmental conversations, and support inclusive, justice-oriented approaches to climate and conservation in the Bow Valley.

All are welcome to engage with the work through the public art exhibition, which will run from August 12 to September 7, 2026.

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, August 13, 2026, where everyone is welcome to celebrate and experience the artwork created through this workshop series.

Refreshments provided. Free to attend.

Thank you to Pursuit, the Town of Canmore, and Rozsa Roundation for supporting this work.
