In a slow and mindful collective performance, Toronto artist Diane Borsato leads a procession of regional beekeepers in a walk from the Canadian Museum of Nature to the NAC’s rooftop garden and apiary.
''Your Temper, My Weather'' explores the beauty of many bodies moving deliberately and in unison, inspiring reflection on the health and temper of bees and on the policies and environmental conditions that so profoundly affect our shared future.
Members of the public will be invited to watch and/or join the beekeepers in their silent procession at any point during this 60mn performance.
