SUMMARY:Inaugural exhibit at Crow's Nest environmental justice incubator
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit will showcase approximately 20 selected works from artists with powerful messages on the climate emergency\, its impact on ecosystems and communities\, and what we can do about it. Each in their own way\, these paintings\, drawings\, photographs\, and sculptures enable us break down the ecological crisis\, help us process our feelings about it\, and challenge our preconceived notions on how to address it. \nThe Crow’s Nest is an art incubator that provides work space\, social space\, and exhibition space for anyone seeking to address the twin challenges of climate change and environmental justice through artistic expression and cultural production\, especially radical and public art. \nAbout the Crow’s Nest-\nAt the Crow’s Nest\, we are building a diverse community where those who care about our shared future can connect\, exchange ideas\, experiment\, collaborate\, and inspire one another. We aspire to become Baltimore’s hub where climate and environmental justice meets pathbreaking art.

SUMMARY:Gathering at the Intersections of Folklore and the Environment
DESCRIPTION:The Fellows of the American Folklore Society (AFS)\, the Diverse Environmentalisms Research Team\, and the Climate Interest Group of the Folklore and Science Section will host a webinar titled “Gathering at the Intersections of Folklore and the Environment” 7:00pm – 9:00 pm (EDT)\, Thursday\, September 26\, 2024. The webinar is open to scholars and practitioners in folklore and in adjacent fields and organizations throughout the world working at the intersections of expressive culture and the environment. This topic has acquired increased urgency as communities and our world are impacted by climate change and environmental degradation.  \nThe goals of the webinar are to bring people together to share ideas\, learn about what others have been and are doing\, and strengthen connections among a broad range of individuals and groups. This online gathering offers an opportunity to assess the state of research and practice to date and to identify directions for the future.  \nIn lieu of prepared papers\, we encourage participants to briefly introduce their work through a “digital postcard\,” discuss their projects and collaborations\, and thereby recognize common themes and issues. We therefore invite participants to create a slide that encapsulates their interests. Participants will have the opportunity to identify promising trends and lay the foundation for special issues in folklore publications and other collaborative activities. \nThese are themes we have initially identified for the webinar: \nClimate change and cultural/community resilience\nDiverse ontologies\, environmentalisms\, and worldmaking\nEcological imaginaries and performing environmentalisms\nEcojustice and the Rights of Nature\nEnvironmental colonialism\, resistance\, and collective action\nEmerging ecological communities\, design\, practices\, and perspectives\nFolklore of nature\nMore-than-human/human relations\nNarrative ecology\nCultural/Ecological sustainability policy\, theory\, and action\nTraditional and local ecological landscapes\, cosmologies\, and knowledge\nPlease join us at the webinar gathering. AFS membership is not required\, but participants must register by August 31 to receive the Zoom invitation. To help us prepare for the event\, we ask participants to submit a digital postcard in the form of a slide about their work and ideas; a template and instructions will be sent to all registrants.  \nAt the webinar\, following introductory remarks\, participants will break into facilitated smaller working groups based on themes identified in the digital postcards. We hope to see you in September. \nContact Mary Hufford at hufford.mary@gmail.com with your questions with “AFS Webinar” in the subject line.
