The Together Project Catalyst Talk series convenes international and local artists to explore the different ways artists, communities and municipalities can work together to create impactful projects that work towards building communities that are socially connected and culturally rich. These talks share best practices, challenges and case study experiences that will inform how we might develop a common approach to community-based art projects in Edmonton.

Co-created by Grade 6 students at John A.McDougall Elementary School, local artists and musicians in Edmonton and Big Rock Candy Mountain POPOPOPOPOP is a “drinkable publication” that is not only delicious, but is also dedicated to exploring the many connections between soda and sound including bubbles as scores and carbonation as percussion.

In our first talk, Hannah, Reed and the community of collaboration they convened around POPOPOPOPOP will share their journey starting from conception to the final product.

After the talk, we will be facilitating an interactive group engagement where we invite community members and attendees to share what about the POPOPOPOPOP resonates with them. We’ll be collecting “a-hah” moments, the barriers and opportunities attendees see in the process, and consider how we might be mindful of those learnings in our own future projects.
