The venue has two bathrooms, one is wheelchair accessible, and new wheelchair paths throughout the site, but the grounds are still “natural”, so be prepared if you have mobility concerns around gravel/rocky terrain. Let us know if there are ways we can help! There are all types of places to sit and stand. Please feel free to bring support for your back as well as low chairs.
We have added additional shade structures but please be prepared for August heat! Earplugs will be available at the merch table.

Participants are invited to co-create a large-scale web-like installation using natural yarns, sticks, branches, stones, leaves, dried plants, wool roving, fabric scraps, and found natural objects. The installation acts as a symbolic space of release and expression, where each participant adds a piece that reflects something they wish to liberate from—or celebrate as a liberated part of themselves.
An interactive, collaborative picture mobile, in collaboration with other community members by offering drawing and collage prompts.

Amanda Hansen and Andy Soloman: Eco-Acoustic Relativity Station (E.A.R.S.)
The Eco-Acoustic Relativity Station (E.A.R.S.) is an interactive art installation designed to foster deep engagement with the ambient soundscape of Galiano Island. Drawing inspiration from the philosophies of Deep Listening, developed by the legendary composer Pauline Oliveros, and Acoustic Ecology, pioneered by former SFU professor R. Murray Schafer, E.A.R.S. invites participants to explore listening as a practice of attention and expanded perception and engage with the acoustic environment of Galiano island and Active Passive festival with a deeper sense of presence, awareness and connectivity. At its core, E.A.R.S. is an interactive sound map of Galiano Island, which would be exclusively accessible at the location of the installation. Over the duration of the festival, participants will be encouraged to listen deeper to their surroundings, make field recordings with their own devices, and upload them with the provided QR code, contributing to a dynamic auditory collective archive. Once uploaded, these recordings can be played back at the installation, triggering an immersive audiovisual experience featuring a projector and sound-responsive visuals.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
