Featured Exhibits
ECOTarot
The ECOtarot deck enables us to perform “Climate Future” readings. With the deck, Adriene Jenik invites others to join her to “channel” scientific facts and modeled projections related to human-driven climate disruption through the layered form and meanings of tarot.
Tidal Timespace
Tides, especially ones connected to estuaries and mudflats, perform polyrhythmic writings and erasings; concealing and revealing their ghostly spectral traces at ebb tide.
Research
Projects
Our projects illustrate how the human sciences (humanities, social sciences and arts) are changing to meet the challenges of the 21st century as they contribute significantly to the development of social, economic, and science policy addressing environmental issues in civil and academic life.
Community Members, Researchers and Scholars.
Our affiliates recognize that historical models, crosscultural comparisons, and images of plausible futures, that often take the form of stories, can powerfully transform social values, recalibrate understanding of foundational principles of justice and sustainability, and rewrite inaccurate narratives about human relationships to and interdependencies with ecosystems and nonhuman species.
