From Disruption to Healing – A Climate Walk with an Artist
Tuesday, May 25, 6:30 pm
Rain date: Wednesday, May 26, 6:30 pm
Climate change and other disruptions can bring a host of challenges. But they can also bring opportunities to create anew and heal. Join artist Barbara Cooper on a walk in Ryerson Woods to observe disruptions in nature and consider how they can become metaphors for life and a process toward healing. This program is part of Third Coast Disrupted: Artists + Scientists on Climate, an exhibition of science-inspired artworks at the Brushwood Center Gallery May 7 – August 22.
