EVENT

Since 2019, Andrea Williamson and Nina Pariser (Spoonful of Dirt) have created and given workshops based in place-making, eco-citizenship, and community belonging through art. Rooted in a politics of deep attention and care within the multispecies environment, they aim to create spaces that encourage material, practical, and imaginative connections between participants of all ages and backgrounds and their environments. Spoonful of Dirt has presented as part of Concordia Art History’s Graduate Conference Communities of Care (2019), collaborated on eco-art programming with southwest Montreal community programs in Pointe-Saint-Charles and Verdun, FUNMTL (Finding Urban Nature), Bird Protection Québec, and Champs des possibles. More recently, they presented a workshop at Concordia’s environmental justice and creativity conference C-Change (2025), and offered youth eco-art workshops with Optica Jeunesse as part of Leisure’s Chrysalis + Butterfly exhibition (2025).
