Installations/ Performances Amelia Merhar GETTING RIPPED FOR THE APOCALYPSE Interviews will take place 1 PM - 4 PM Saturday Interactive Fitness Performance will take place at 3:40 PM on Sunday Main Riverside Festival Grounds Getting Ripped for the Apocalypse is a six-part educational fitness series by artist Amelia Merhar, who will be filming Dawson-pocalypse episode over the Riverside weekend. By uniting communities that don’t often meet (preppers and aerobics videos), Amelia will help people feel supported and prepared for the current climate crisis. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed and hopeless given the magnitude of systemic change needed. Working out makes you feel better! Amelia will be conducting interviews with locals and tourists about Dawson City and apocalypse preparedness on Saturday, August 17th at the main Festival grounds. On Sunday afternoon, Amelia will lead a group fitness practice to be showcased in the film series. What will you do during the apocalypse? Adjani Poirier & Aubyn O’Grady EXPERIMENTAL RADIO HOUR.
