WHAT DOES IFIAAR DO?

IFIAAR hosts educational events and presentations by collaborating with artists and animal specialists. These take place in different cities and have included workshops, screenings, and walks.

IFIAAR publishes books, zines, and other material by creators who investigate different aspects of our relationships to non-human animals through creative disciplines and discouse.

WHY ANIMALS?

Non-human animals impact and are impacted by practically every choice we are given in today's society. This happens simultaneously on a global level through societal and governmental structures, to consumer choices of animal based products, to whether or not we choose to have a dog or kill a spider. Due to rapid industrialization and globalization, these predominantly negative impacts have been magnified to extreme levels with unparalleled historic effects. How you think about animals makes a difference!

WHY ART?

Art is a way of thinking, being, and responding.

WHERE IS IFIAAR?

IFIAAR operates in the Mojave Desert on the unceded traditional territory of the Serrano. Although there is no public access at this time, there are dreams and plans for on-site activites and an open library. IFIAAR believes things take as long as they take. Until then, projects will continue to migrate around various cities, states, and countries as long as it is viable and reasonable to do so.

Institute for Interspecies Art and Relations was founded by Aidan Koch in 2017. Koch independently runs and supports all programming and projects.

IFIAAR is resolved to using re-usable and recycled material for as much as possible and as well as charitable work outside itself that directly improves the lives of animals in this country and the world.
