After the talk, Plant Kingdom artist David Gowman and his band The Legion of Flying Monkeys will be doing a short set in the gallery!

The Legion of Flying Monkeys (LFM) are a small but determined Vancouver protest folk-rock group playing with drums, ukulele, accordion, sometimes marimba, and curious, wooden trumpets called 'fuhorns', built by bandleader, Mr. Fire-Man (Gowman). LFM music is designed to engage, to pull the audience into a harmless, merry singalong while destroying capitalism, religion and greed.
