Inspiration of the Bees was an immersive exhibition of collaborative art making and technology with robotic works and children’s ballet inspired by the dance of bees. It focused on what the bee teaches us through themes of sustainability and the environment. Inspired by the bee, it invited a decentering of the human to look to what we can learn from this creature whose power creates biodiversity and sustains life itself. Bees teach lessons on how to work together… Bees make life possible…Bees make honey… Bees make our environment healthy and colorful… Bees contribute to biodiversity… They are Architects, Housekeepers, Chemists, Builders, Guards, Foragers, Guides, Artists, Dancers… Inspiration of the Bees invited viewers to step into a sensory world of the bee, honoring and appreciating her contribution to life and her stewardship of our local and global garden. It offered visitors an immersive sensory experience and encourages them to reflect on their own responsibility to the bee for a thriving future.
