Sound and Space Research presents These bodies of waters that we are, a collective river listening experience in collaboration with the exhibition Confluences. River rights / rites de rivière at SBC Gallery of Contemporary Art.

Join us for a sonic dérive through Île-de-la-Visitation along the banks of the Skowanoti/Rivière des Prairies. Drawing from practices of Nèijīng nature-based medicine and hydrophonic experiments, we will listen and reflect on the resonances between the waters of the Skowanoti and the waterways that circulate in our bodies.

Sunday, June 19, 2022, from 11am to 12:30pm. Free access within the limits of available places. In person, at L'Île-de-la-Visitation Nature Park.

They talk about us Ckut radio 90.3 FM Emission CAFÉ, 17 juin.

Simon Bélair, acupuncturist, researcher and teacher.

Simon Bélair has been involved in the practice, research, and teaching of Chinese medicine for over 20 years. His growing interest in the history of medicine and the natural sciences led him to study the ancient medical texts of the Nèijīng with Edward Neal, allowing him to nourish both his clinical practice and his research on the correspondences between humans and nature from an organizational and functional perspective. Simon is co-founder of the MAPP integrative medicine clinic and of the IFARI research platform based in Montreal, Munich, and Barcelona. He is a teacher at the Quebec Order of Acupuncturists (OAQ) and the Osteopathic Center of Quebec (COQ). www.ifari.net, www.simonbelair.ca
