Diane Burko. My journey from Landscape Artist to Explorer Activist
February 28, 2018
12:30- 1:45 pm

Portola Plaza, Los Angeles

During the last decade, Philadelphia based artist Diane Burko has been documenting the disappearance of glaciers in large-scale seres of paintings and photographs developed in close collaboration with glaciologists. In this symbiotic relationship, the artist wants her work to accurately reflect the science and the urgency of climate change, and the scientists want the artist’s help in communicating their findigs to the public.
Co-sponsored by the Postcolonial Literature and Studies Colloquium, Division of the Humanities, The Environmental Humanities Fund & Counterforce Lab.
