  • How do we regenerate the Pacific Forests? This is the central question in artworks made by Helen and Newton Harrison, starting with The Serpentine Lattice in 1993 and continuing to the present day with their research initiatives led by the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure at UC Santa Cruz. Their earlier work addresses forest clear-cutting, while the more recent work focuses on how forests are impacted by related public policy and climate change itself. Join us for a panel to explore how artworks in the exhibition speak to the current crisis in our forests. The panel is moderated by Anne Douglas and Chris Fremantle. Featured speakers include: - Josh Harrison, the Harrisons’ son and current Director of the Center for the Study of the Force Majeure at UC Santa Cruz. - Megan Jennings, Conservation Ecologist, Climate Science Alliance advisor, and Co-Director of San Diego State University's Institute for Ecological Monitoring and Management. - Ruth Wallen, artist and long-time collaborator with the Harrisons. - Joelene Tamm, founding member of the Southern California Fire, Fuels, and Forestry Cadre. - Will Madrigal, Jr., California Indian Professor of American Indian Studies/History/Language, and an enrolled member of the Cahuilla Band For more information visit: sandiego.librarymarket.com
