Other Animal is a culmination of the creative work with All Bodies Carnegie participants over the last 2 years, and especially over the recent summer session. Our practices have included presencing with, responding to and witnessing one another as acts of care. We celebrate our interconnected imaginations, our agency in self-expression, and dancing as a way of being together in community.

8:05 PM – Pigeon Den Art Collective (Don't Feed Da Pigeons)
What is it about Pigeons anyways? Each time you try to shoo them away, they come back stronger and oblivious to any obstacle that might stand in their way. Lance Lim has always been fascinated with them every since he used to feed them over at Pigeon Park (now where the survivors pole stands). As a disabled artist, a person of color, pigeons represent a kind of sustained resilience. They keep coming at you, never flinching, challenging their oppressors. As with those who live in the margins, disabled, handicapped they are often invisible but yet we see their presence everyday. Maybe their fight is about the right to be seen, heard, and valued.

"These are live soulful, acoustic songs written to escape the boredom of small town life and Ctulu, the bringer of sad."
