Baroque Biology Community Event and Science Fair

Event Website

Baroque Biology will be an art and science fair at Point Pelee National Park for audiences of all ages. Over the course of one day – through experimentation, storytelling, sculpture, parades and performance – artist Jennifer Willet and special guests will invite park-goers to learn more about the Great Lakes ecology. Activities will include an artist presentation, hands-on workshop activities, artworks and scientific displays, live music and a parade!

Dr. Jennifer Willet (she/her) is an artist, a Canada Research Chair in Art, Science, and Ecology, a Professor in the School of Creative Arts at the University of Windsor and the Director of INCUBATOR ArtLab, founded in 2009. She is a member of the College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists in the Royal Society of Canada. Willet is a leader in the Canadian bioart community and works internationally as an artist and curator in the field. In 2018, Willet opened a new state-of-the-art bioart laboratory, and in 2020 a storefront bioart studio and community engagement centre in Windsor, Ontario.

Baroque Biology by Dr. Jennifer Willet is commissioned as part of Ontario Culture Days’ Creatives in Residence series and presented in partnership with Arts Council Windsor & Region (ACWR), University of Windsor, and in collaboration with Parks Canada.
