Sometimes being slow, small or weak can have its advantages in Survival of the Slowest, the newest summer traveling exhibit presented by Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, running June 7 through September 5, at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS). Guests will get an in-depth look at the often-overlooked species that evolved to slow down as part of their survival strategy in a world where large, strong and fast animals are often at the top of the food chain. The exhibit will feature 14 habitats with live animals (17 species) and plants. Guests will get an up-close look at wildlife with daily presentations featuring a sloth, a tarantula, tortoises, a hedgehog, a blue-tongued skink and more* via wildlife educators and MODS' Life Sciences staff. Meet animals that have survived for millions of years despite being very slow and learn about the puzzling sides of evolution and adaptation. Discover the difference between warm- and cold-blooded species, explore why some animals need less food than others and see the unique ways they hide from predators. This educational exhibit looks at the different survival strategies of various species.
- How can slow and steady win the race?
- Does bigger always mean better?
- What animals benefit from being weak rather than strong?
This exhibit looks at the advantages and disadvantages of these different traits. This world class exhibit is produced by Little Ray's Nature Exhibitions in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature. It is locally sponsored by Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Little Ray's Nature Centres is the largest exotic animal rescue organization in Canada with educational programs reaching more than one million Canadians each year. Most of the animals in this exhibition are rescues. Included with Museum admission.

I, Me & Myself
Saturday, Jul 27, 2024 various times - Spanish
"I, Me & Myself" presents a selection of Andreina's work centered on the idea of identity construction through ready-made and collage techniques. It involves the subjective creation of identity by combining elements from the artist's family genealogy, art history, and popular culture. It serves as a brave and honest testimony, with Andreina presenting herself publicly, as reflected in the exhibition's name, "Me, Myself & I". The exhibition opens on July 13 at the Arts Connection Foundation gallery.
Curated by Gerardo Zavarce and Felix Suazo, the exhibition includes photographs, videos, objects, and printed materials. Zavarce, who has closely followed the artist's career, notes that this identity construction process has been one of evolution and transformation. "These characters contain references to one another, some obvious and others more subtle. They have traces like very subtle self-portraits, accompanied by stories and objects. It is the construction of a character and the variable construction of an identity, using collage critically, alongside ready-made." Zavarce explained, highlighting the critical dilemmas related to the fragility of roles and gender.
