The Metanoia Project: Nature is Us.
Call for Visuals and Audio Recordings of Hamilton’s Nature/Biodiversity for an Immersive, Digital Art Installation.
Metanoia: Greek μετάνοια, is "a transformative change of heart”. Also, “to change one’s mind,” “change direction,” “turn around.”
The Metanoia Project (Nature is Us) is a new initiative of the *Hamilton Pollinator Paradise Project to raise awareness of what we are at risk of losing if we do not act immediately to protect and uplift rapidly declining native species populations.
With its diverse habitats of marsh, and wetland, and Carolinian forest, escarpment and Lake Ontario, Hamilton is in a hotspot of biodiversity that supports many native species of insects, birds, mammals, plants, etc. But healthy biodiversity is continuously threatened by habitat loss, disease, invasive species, climate change, and pesticide use, amongst other factors.
An Immersive, Digital Art Installation, Metanoia seeks to help viewers connect nature to an emotional landscape; because when we are awed and inspired by nature, we will want to protect what we have.
Contribute
As part of the digital art installation, we are collecting both images (photos and 3-second videos) and audio recordings of Hamilton's **native species nature. We are looking for audio clips of nature, such as sounds of birds, frogs, insects, water, wind, etc. We welcome contributions from the community.
For more information or to contribute directly, email Beatrice Ekoko, Project Lead at projectmetanoia2021@gmail.com

**Native species are those that originated in their location (ecosystems) naturally and without the involvement of human activity or intervention.
