À propos

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.

What is BODYTALK?

BODYTALK is queer-inclusive night featuring handpicked artists from our community and beyond, powered by @skank.party.

What is BodyTalk all about?

BodyTalk is a celebration of queer joy, movement, and music. It’s a space to dance, connect, and honour our bodies and identities.

Expect genre-defying sets, fresh sounds, and artists who push boundaries and tell stories through music.

At Its heart, BodyTalk is:

• A safe space for queer, trans, and non-binary folks, and everyone in between

• A night to discover new music beyond the mainstream

• A place to build community, make new connections, and truly let go

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.
