Excerpt
When 176 people were killed after a passenger airliner was shot down near Tehran in January 2020, the Concordia community was devastated.
Two of the passengers — Siavash Ghafouri-Azar, MASc 19, and Sara Mamani, MASc 18 — were recent graduates who had just wed in Iran.

In August of 2020, facilitators from the global Art Hives Network were invited to engage in a 4-part workshop series during which we paused to reflect on the current functioning of the network and envision how to move forward towards greater impact and resiliency. Another purpose that brought this group together was to increase the network's capacity to evaluate its impact and build capacity across individual Art Hives to do the same.

Canadian First: Concordia opens campus art hive and International Network Headquarters
The Science Shop is Art Hives Network’s new initiative in collaboration with Vanier College and Concordia’s office of the VP, graduate and research department. The aim of these public science events is engage the community in public conversations about the intersection between science and creativity. Taking place in the community art studio La Ruche d’Art, a life sized cabinet of curiosities packed with art supplies, a multitude of art made by community members and a whole host of odds and ends, one may think it an odd place to be discussing molecules and mutations, among others.
The model and practice of Art Hives have evolved through two decades of sustained practice research, continuous observation and adaptation, and experimentation with spaces and organizational structures led by Dr. Janis Timm-Bottos, who has developed and established six successful art hives in different locations across North America.
