WELCOME

Welcome to our second newsletter. As you read this, we're hard at work on compiling our first issue of the CSPA Quarterly, which we will be releasing at the end of the month. We're also working on bulstering our Wiki, which hasa lot of great information, but there is so much more to get in there. If you're interested in helping, we welcome volunteers to contribute as well. It is free to join and post. If that wasn't enough exciting news, the cat is out of the bag that we've been working with LA Stage Alliance on developing a plan for physical materials reuse infrastructure in Los Angeles AND we're gearing up to start our certification initiative in the new year! There is just so much going on, and we thank you all for your continued support of the CSPA!

How do humans and animals relate to each other? In The Arts Catalysts’ Interspecies exhibition and event, seven international artists have created a range of work that explores this complex relationship. From live experiments that allow visitors to communicate with fish to a video work that explores the age-old affiliation between falconer and falcon, Interspecies brings together a number of artists working with animals and explores the boundaries of our interaction. Curious about the animal’s point of view, the artists challenge the dominant human viewpoint and aim to work in collaboration with other species.
