Angie Reid’s artwork explores the impact of hardening efforts on the landscapes and ecosystems of Nova Scotia's North Shore, focusing on the tension between preserving coastal properties for future generations to enjoy, and the environmental consequences of these actions. Through idealised landscape oil paintings and 'then-and-now' photographs, the work invites reflection on climate change, the lasting effects of human intervention, and the need for sustainable solutions in coastal management.

In her work documenting Species at Risk in Mi'kma'ki (Nova Scotia), Amanda Suutari aims to amplify the raw dignity, power and beauty of these increasingly rare animals - and to activate hearts and minds towards healing and regenerating their natural habitats by connecting with local conservation and advocacy efforts.
