LA NIñA
It's rare to get snow along the Pacific Ocean in the United States, especially down into Southern California, as we did last week. With the Pacific Jet Stream bringing tropical moisture all the way from Indonesia, La Niña is offering gifts of atmospheric rivers and coastal snow, along with flooding and erosion. Our changing climate is one of more frequent extremes.
This month we will hold six Zoom events, including our ongoing Soil, Plastic and Water Dialogues, which we are opening back up to members who have checked these topics in their profile. We will also, as we did last year have participants from the Sustain(ability) & the Art Studio present their projects, and another entrepreneurial presentation of an artist who is Turning Mining Pollution into Pigments, as well as our more recent monthly Sound Dialogues exploring modernity for members and guest. see below Please considering joining us!

John Sabraw: Turning Mining Pollution into Pigments
Thursday, March 23
United States: 10am PDT, 11am MDT, 12pm CDT, 1pm EDT
Europe: 18:00 GMT
In this Zoom we will hear from artist and professor John Sabraw who will share the process and recipes for creating paint and paintings from sustainably sourced iron oxide extracted in the process of remediating streams polluted from coal mines. A full scale treatment plant utilizing this innovative remediation process will be completed in 2025; cleaning over 1 million gallons of pollution and producing 6,000 lbs of pigment every day, all while restoring miles of streams to aquatic health. Members and one guest are free. General Public can attend for $10. All participants MUST REGISTER. |

Land Earth Empathy is an ongoing body of work and research, part funded by the Arts Council England and supported by mentors anthropologist Dr. Elizabeth Hodson, culturemaker/Dark mountain co-founder Dougald Hine and glaciologist Jürg Alean. The work explores parallels of personal and ecological loss, through public participatory collaborations such as ‘Unmaking the Glacier.’ Participants were invited to take part in pulling out threads of a piece of linen printed with an image of the Morteratsch Glacier. Whilst engaged in a simple task, conversations meandered and edged around deeper subjects of climate change and loss. emilyjoyartist.com |
