Opening Spoken Word Performance by Suzi Q., poet-in-residence

Moderated by Chad Alligood, Curator, Contemporary Art, Crystal Bridges

Panelists:
Laura Turner Igoe, art historian
Pam Longobardi, artist
Nathalie Miebach, artist

Through the centuries, American artists have responded to nature’s transcendental qualities, the rapid cultivation of the wilderness, and now, issues around global climate change. Art historian Laura Turner Igoe will present new scholarship toward understanding how artists in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries presented environmental issues of the time. Igoe’s presentation will be followed by a conversation with artists Nathalie Miebach and Pam Longobardi, who address environmental issues in their work.
