CIMISITT hosts “Song for the Birds”
A prototyping workshop and community meeting hosted by CIMSITT and presented by Remediation Room
February 6th, 2022, 2 pm and 3:30 pm MST
EMMEDIA, Mohkínstsis (Calgary, Alberta), Treaty 7 Territory, the traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy, the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, and the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3
Please join us for the workshop and meeting that will be led by a group of sparrows and aspen leaves who are passionate about supporting the work of the Centre for Interspecies Mutual Support in Troubled Times (CIMSITT). The sparrows and aspen leaves are dedicated to rescuing their friends, the ducks, from certain death in the tailings ponds of the Athabasca tar sands.
At the event, the sparrows will present their call to action. A gathering of Aspen leaves with the assistance of participants will present a plan of action to rescue ducks captured in the oil-contaminated surface of the tailings ponds. The plan will be executed and a discussion will follow to plan further actions and community responses to be sent to the Canadian Energy Centre aka the Energy War Room. A CIMSITT volunteer will translate the sparrow’s call to English and a full transcript of the translation will be stored in the CIMSITT archive.

This workshop and meeting are part of an ongoing process of interspecies communication that CIMSITT is dedicated to. Our intention is to bring together different species who are committed to supporting each other by sharing their knowledge, survival skills, resources, and experience in these troubled times.
The workshop is full! Thank you to everyone that signed up. Documentation will be coming soon. In the meantime, please visit the Artwork section to learn more about CIMISITT and the other artwork supported by Remediation Room and check out the CIMSITT Resources page.
