Ala Roushan & Charles Stankievech
Ala Roushan is an artist/curator whose work explores artificial environments at the intersection of art, architecture, and technology. Her most recent project, Shaping Atmospheres, was presented as an exhibition and symposium, exploring the critical implications of today’s solar politics and speculations on solar geoengineering. She is an Associate Professor in Environmental Design at OCAD University.
Charles Stankievech is an artist redefining "fieldwork" at the convergence of geopolitics, deep ecologies, and sonic resonances. From the Arctic’s northernmost settlement to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, Stankievech's practice uncovers the paradoxes of our existence on the planet by engaging with the imperceptible. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto.
