About this Event
How to Cope with Being Human: An Artistic Exploration of the 5 Senses
Join us for a multidisciplinary art exploration at Trout Lake where we will delve into the intricacies of our human experience and how to cope with the difficulties through the lens of our 5 senses. Through a series of interactive activities, we will explore how art can help us cope with the challenges of being human. From sight to taste, touch to smell, and sound, we will engage all our senses to unlock new ways of understanding ourselves and the world around us. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with others and tap into your creative side!
Bringing snacks/ something to drink is encouraged!
About the facilitators:
Franz Seachel is a South-Asian multidisciplinary artist and settler residing on unceded Coast-Salish lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmaɁɬ təməxʷ (Musqueam) nations. Franz has a B.A. in Creative Writing from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. She is the Founder/ Executive Director of Enable: Arts Society, a nonprofit that supports community-based and collaborative art projects by emerging and/or marginalized voices. Their work has been featured at several events and festivals across so-called Canada, and they are currently working on her debut novel among other multidisciplinary projects. Franz is a creator of space. She believes art creates genuine connections. Art makes living bearable—she does her best to put more colour into the world, both by brightening up the mundane with creation, and in her mission to uplift the truths of marginalized bodies. Franz hopes you dream often; she hopes you find reasons to stay. Follow them on Instagram @franz_seachel.
