About
MEND: A Plastiscapes Event
Join MEND, a night of music, dance and gathering where Studio Rat’s Plastiscapes becomes a site of sound and sculpture, activated by some of Ottawa’s DJs.
An inflated structure overtakes the space, reaching up towards the sun. An altar of hope and a room to inhabit, Plastiscapes by Studio Rat explores the infinite dichotomies held within plastic that exist at odds with one another: the ancient and futuristic, mundane and magical, intimate and industrial, malleable and fixed. The artists forgo industrial forms of recycling as foraged plastics are pressed, fused, cut, and quilted, bringing disparate materials together into a coherent whole. When activated with air, plastic becomes a landscape for a speculative inquiry, exploring pasts, presents and futures of this storied material that overwhelms and presses down around us.
Open format event series focused on the promotion of Pan-African electronic music and culture. As a title, Plantains & Caviar represents the plurality of the music we aim to promote. Blending different cultures, sounds, and identities in one space free of isms & phobias. Afrobeat, Dancehall, Amapiano, House, Gqom, Alté, Afro-fusion, Miami Bass, Batida, Baille Funk, Ghetto Tech, UKG, Jungle +++

Plasticscapes is made possible thanks to the City of Ottawa through Ottawa Nightlife, the Province of Ontario, and the Ontario Arts Council. We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, and producing partners Congrego and St. Albans Church.
