The shadow has been enjoying some creative time at bEam Residency, Thessaloniki. Individual under water recordings will be playing through the monitors with an added sensory experience of the recorded sounds as vibration channelled into these small black handheld cushions. Much gratitude to the bEam folks.

My first posts from my bEam Residency in Thessaloniki. Political

The Music Gallery, @phoenixthefire1111,and @vibrafusionlab invite Ontario-based hearing artists whose practice focuses on music and sound to apply to participate in a special residency program in September 2026. Five selected participants will each collaborate with a Deaf artist, support their creative ideas, and experiment with haptic technologies through a multi-day residency.

Hearing artists selected as residency participants will work openly with a Deaf collaborating partner during the five day residency. The nature and outcome of this residency will be open-ended as collaborating duos co-conspire, co-develop and co-create new artistic works. This process will emphasize discovery and be led by the Deaf artists. Hearing artists will bring their technical and creative skills, prioritizing curiosity, dialogue, and responsiveness.

Participants are not expected to produce a finished work. Our aim is to provide conditions that are optimal for the participants to create together (in ways that may seed future work), and through their feedback make improvements to Music Gallery’s programming.

Prior to the residency, hearing artists will take part in a 10 part introductory ASL class facilitated by @hands.on.asl.

DAY 1 = FULL HOUSE. FULL HEARTS. FULL ENERGY. ✨

What a powerful start to Haptic Horizon at Centre[3].
Day One was genuinely PACKED — an incredible crowd, inspiring artists, thoughtful panel conversations, beautiful openings, and yes… an unforgettable dance party to close the night. 💃🏽🎶

From meaningful discussions to multisensory experiences, every moment felt insightful, connected, and alive. The response has been overwhelming in the best way, and we are so grateful for the immense support from our community.

A huge THANK YOU to:
• Our visionary organizers
• Our co-sponsors and funders
• Our brilliant artists & panelists
• Our hardworking volunteers
• Our dedicated staff

And a very special acknowledgement to Centre[3] for Artistic + Social Practice (Centre 3) and Vibrafusion lab— the driving force behind bringing this 3-day immersive, free arts symposium to life. 💛

Now… we move into DAY 2.
We’re excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to continue the conversations, creativity, and connection.

Stay tuned — we’ll be sharing Day 2 glimpses on our stories and posting highlights throughout the day.

If you’re joining us — see you soon.
