Ecoreportage: Using Art to Document Ecological Change
News and signs of climate change are all around us. How do we understand and assimilate the questions and emotions this knowledge brings? We will talk about the practice of ecoreportage: close observation of the natural world, documented in drawings, paintings and words, built over time to a picture of ecological change. These acts of observation are important experiences in the moment and aid in memory. But they are also ways to communicate with others what we see and feel, to convey the life around us, as it is now and as it will be. The instructor will share examples from her own work, particularly her journey exploring the legacy of wildfires in Stebbins Cold Canyon Reserve and elsewhere in California.
