Description
Please join us at the Rio Grande Nature Center to hear artist and author, Basia Irland, founder of the Art and Ecology Program at UNM, give an illustrated talk about her large-scale global projects, including “A Gathering of Waters,” which fosters dialogue and connects communities along the entire length of rivers, plus our Río Grande; portable waterway “Repository” archives; and hand-carved ephemeral “Ice Book” sculptures embedded with native seed texts that are floated down streams to aid riparian restoration, most recently created for SITE Santa Fe and the Santa Fe River. Featured will be her work in the collections of the Albuquerque Museum and the New Mexico Art Museum.
To support New Mexico Wild with an environmental stewardship project immediately following the artist talk, please register. Contact Keila Gutiérrez with any questions.
The talk begins at 10 am at the Education Building. Stewardship project begins immediately after the talk.
