Show opening at the Confluence Gallery

Posted 31 July 2010 by Benj in Announcements, Exhibits and Presentations, Facing Climate Change

Weathering Change opens Saturday, July 31 at the Confluence Gallery in Twisp, Washington. The show explores how society and the arts adapts to an evolving, changing world. A number of images from our Sámi and wildfire climate change work are on display. These are new prints made with Tyler Boley that were in the Ansel Adams Gallery last fall. As we enter the peak of fire season, we’re particularly excited to bring our wildfire images back to the valley from which they came.

We’ll be giving a talk at the gallery on September 9, at 7 p.m. Weathering Change runs through September 18, 2010.

Three Degrees launches new website

Posted 31 May 2010 by Benj in Announcements, Facing Climate Change

Darin and I recently launched a new site for Three Degrees, a climate justice project at the University of Washington School of Law. A year ago, founders Jen Marlow and Jeni Krencicki Barcelos put together a conference under the same name that brought together a diverse collection of corporate CEOs, World Bank consultants, former heads of state, legal scholars, relief workers and Native peoples to examine how legal institutions are responding to the human rights component of climate change. (Sara and I curated an exhibit of GHG photographers for the event.)

Jen and Jeni recently graduated and will now work full time on Three Degrees at the UW School of Law. They needed a new website to showcase their work and reach out to the community they’ve built around the conference. Darin and I designed a new identity, WordPress website, and HTML email template. The photographs on the site are from Facing Climate Change and Peter Essick’s climate change work for National Geographic.
