Leaning Towards Water: Art, Activism and Resilience in the Anthropocene

With personal stories, art, poetry, music and film, Liz shares her journey of becoming an artist and activist. You’ll learn how one incident when she was a teenager became the catalyst for lifelong community engagement. She will also speak on water protection, the current climate action movement, and the roles of art, poetry and activism in creating resilience.

As one of the BALL audience members said “It was fascinating, informative and funny! I loved the unique approach, which combined art, music, film, science, philosophy, and especially poetry!

Liz is director/co-producer of the Resilience: Transforming Our Community documentary and a member of the Climate Action Team. She also spearheaded the movement to make Owen Sound a ‘Blue Community’ – one that prioritizes access to clean, safe, public water sources. Liz was Owen Sound’s first poet laureate, inaugural recipient of Owen Sound’s Outstanding Individual in the Arts award, and the proud grandmother of two teenagers and a seven year old.
