Meet Mississauga's Stormwater Artist in Residence

Lisa Hirmer is the City of Mississauga’s stormwater public artist in residence. In this inaugural role, Lisa has immersed herself in the work of the stormwater projects team to propose new public art and raise awareness of how stormwater work addresses climate change, sustainability, regeneration and connections with nature.

In her artist talk, Lisa will share insights into her interdisciplinary practice. Spanning photography, sculpture, installation, social practice, community collaboration and sometimes writing, her work explores collective relationships both within human communities and between humans and the more-than-human-world (which is to say other species as well as planetary forces like water, wind, geology, and so on).

Informal networking with local artists and arts colleagues will follow the talk. Light snacks and a raffle door prize provided.

Space is limited so registration is recommended. Doors open at 6:30pm.
