The EDC's Eco Anthropologist Group is hosting a conversation this week with Rice University anthropologists Cymene Howe and Dominic Boyer, focusing on their ongoing work with the Okjökull glacier memorial in Iceland. Join us online via the EDC platform, or in person at the Johns Hopkins University campus, on Wednesday, March 13th at 2pm ET.

On February 9th, the EDC’s ECO-ARTs group held a conversation with Baltimore-based visual artist Soledad Salamé, exploring the connections between ecologies and technologies in her multimedia installations. Joining Salamé were Amy Raehse from the Goya Contemporary Gallery, ECO-ARTs convenor Kristine Roome, EDC curator Nicole Labruto, and many others. The recording is now available on our platform.

The EDC's Visual Mediums group is an emerging space for those who use mediums such as photography or film in their research, practice, and thinking: a space to give and receive feedback on work, as well as to engage together with works that members find inspiring. Group organizer Alejandra Melian-Morse is working to reactivate this community space, please join in if the idea appeals!
