Art Bus Excursion: Plant Signals with Lisa Myers

A program of Earthwork

Join artist, curator, and Associate Professor in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change at York University, Lisa Myers, along with plant survey research collective: Lou Holloway, Ever Palma Hernandez and Tiva Kawakami for a thought-provoking offsite excursion presented in conjunction with the exhibition Earthwork.

Climb aboard for a trip to the Stong House—once a stately settler homestead, now a rogue Indigenous-led artist-run node tucked within York University’s campus grid. There, as you walk the creaking floorboards and hear the whispering leaves in the surrounding foliage, you’ll trace plant frequencies through sensory walks and an exhibition born from summer plant survey projects. Part of the exhibition links to a hulking concrete artwork just miles north, pulsing strange, slow signals that seem to sync there at the Stong. Stories bloom. Systems speak. Want to come and listen?

Whether you’re an art lover, environmentalist, or curious wanderer, this program offers a unique opportunity to connect with the land and nature in a meaningful way.
