Artist Adrian Wong, animal communicator Olivia LaBarre, and Wildlife Freedom Foundation founder Rossana Ceruzzi come together for an evening exploring animal rescue, interspecies collaboration, and communication beyond the human.

Through short presentations and conversation, the speakers will reflect on sanctuary as a physical space, spiritual realm, and an everyday practice of attention, relation, and coexistence. Ceruzzi will share her work rescuing and rehabilitating animals on Roosevelt Island; LaBarre will reflect on her work as an animal communicator, fostering understanding between animals and people; and Wong will explore his long-running artistic collaborations with animals, including The House That Snoopy Built, a cat condo co-designed with his family’s late cat, Snoopy, with the help of an animal communicator Lynn Schuster.

Wong’s cat condo will be installed at CTHQ for the month of September, along with related artworks and ephemera, including photos from his family pet shrine and an annotated plan for the sculpture.

Free and open to the public at CTHQ.
