In this workshop we will be playing with some of the more intriguing and fantabulous notions of time and temporality gleaned from the Time Zone Research Lab. We will explore hyper-objects, hybridity, vertical time, retrocausality and more, in a fun and exploratory tone. There are no wrong ideas! We will splash in the pools of Time! We will use collage, colour, found sculpture and poetry to play and ponder.
This second SAY MORE event, part of the Coming Together Series, is a monthly lunch time gathering to connect either in person or online. Each event will have a community facilitator. Bring your lunch and join us! Coffee, snacks, and tea provided.

Coming Together Series
Coming Together is a series of events aimed at supporting and creating community for Indigenous and racialized faculty and staff (ex. – those who identify as Black or people of color) to gather and connect. All events require registration.
*This series will be a 6-month pilot. Based on feedback received, we hope to adapt the series to the needs of racialized faculty and staff on campus with more permanent and consistent offerings.
