More Info

Andrew Denton
Andrew is the Director of the new School for the Arts at the University of Saskatchewan. He has a collaborative practice spanning art-design-science and art-design-education contexts, as well as research engaging with non-human design ethics and climate emergency. His creative work harnesses affective modes of filmmaking through aesthetic devices which distort and recalibrate viewers' experiences of time and space in everyday settings. The ethics research is particularly focused on finding ways of working with university students on rethinking Euro-centric and human-centric modes of making design.  Recent creative projects include working with archive materials from geoscientists research around Scott Base in Antarctica (Time’s Strange Tissue), and the Wai Project, which engages with very young children’s interactions with water, in daycare settings.

Dani Lindamood
Dani Lindamood is a community activator, campaigner, and creative based in the Great Lakes basin. Since she was young, water has been at the center of Dani’s life, career, and heart. From jumping in pools before she could swim to a Masters exploring water sustainability and access, as well as a decade of academic, NGO, and creative experience researching and protecting water, Dani is honoured that water is the connective thread of her career. In these challenging times, she believes the unifying lens of water will help pave the way to a future that supports and honours all life.

jake moore
jake moore is an intermedia artist whose primary medium is space. This idea expands the understanding of artistic practice to include her administrative projects and other acts of building capacity as a sculptural method, one of changing the form and volume of public spaces. She works at the intersection of material, gesture, text, and vocality to make exhibitions, events, and other kinds of interventions public through complex immersive and interactive installations, critical scholarship, and curatorial work. Her practice is further informed by her neurodiversity, punk rock, noise, and textile traditions – the difficulty of making a sound. She has a national exhibition history as both a solo artist, maker, technical support, voice actor, and collaborator with many others–most recently with the publishing and curatorial platform, The Dim Coast. Her critical and creative writing has been published in C MAG, ESPACE, ESSE, Canadian Art, PAVEDMeant,.dpi as well as in myriad exhibition texts and catalogues. Her ongoing focus on listening as a methodology aid in her development of new methods of research pedagogy. moore is currently the Director of University Art Galleries and Collection, co-chair of the MFA Studio Arts program and an assistant professor of Art and Art History in the School for the Arts at the University of Saskatchewan.

Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer
Her multidisciplinary work bridges art, storytelling, and social change, with a mission to amplify marginalized and non-mainstream voices, inspiring more caring ways of living together on this earth.

At the heart of her practice is a deep curiosity about how we care for one another and the planet. Through her artistic projects, collaborations, and podcasting, Rebeka encourages critical exploration of societal paradigms centered on justice, community, and environmental stewardship. She is particularly passionate about spotlighting diverse forms of art and storytelling—whether expressed through traditional music or the narratives woven into textile crafts. By broadening the understanding of what constitutes credible knowledge and valid perspectives, Rebeka invites people to more creatively imagine the futures we can create together.

Her work has been exhibited globally, including at UN climate conferences, the Design Museum London, the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum. She has initiated participatory projects such as Our Liberation is Interwoven (London, 2024) and climate justice murals at NYC Climate Week and COP25 in Madrid.

Rebeka serves as an artist-in-residence and learning advisor with the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, where she has worked for over 12 years, while also supporting community organizations in Washington, DC. She has spoken at events hosted by the Yale Center for British Art, Yale School of Environment, Columbia University Climate School, MIT, the United Nations, and the Commission on the Status of Women. She holds degrees from Yale University and the University of British Columbia, where her studies integrated interdisciplinary understanding of global-scale challenges with arts-based communications methods.
