Slow Social: Around Sound with Toni-Leah C. Yake

Centered around an artist talk, Q & A, and open discussion with composer/performer Toni-Leah C. Yake, this event is part of The Only Animal’s Slow Socials, an ongoing series of gatherings that invite communities to connect through relaxed textile creation, environmental sound/music, and conversation, and Music on Main’s Around Sound, a long running series that features artist dialogues in an open, casual atmosphere. This event also features a sound installation by Toni-Leah, commissioned as part of TOA’s AWSS (Autumn-Winter-Spring-Summer).

Hosted in a textile installation by Barbara Adler, Slow Socials: Around Sound explore how slow practice can sensitize relationships between people and place and set the stage for joyful climate futures. As you listen, The Only Animal will teach you how to create simple rope, aka ‘cordage’, from fibres you can find close to home, including fabric scraps, garden waste and leftovers from your hibernating craft projects. Materials and a beginner’s lesson will be provided.
