PMA Senior Lecturer Theo Black will be participating in two environmental storytelling events this month. First, he will be hosting a panel called “Changed Waters,” on February 20, at the South Yuba River Citizens League’s (SYRCL) Wild & Scenic Film Festival, in Nevada City, California. This appearance is part of his work on the Cornell Atkinson Center's 'Sustainability & Storytelling' team.
SYRCL’s Wild & Scenic Film Festival inspires environmental activism and a love for nature–through film. Wild & Scenic shares an urgent call to action, encouraging festival-goers to learn more about what they can do to save our threatened planet. Read more about the event here.
Black will also be participating in a BIOphelia event on February 22, at the New Swan Shakespeare Center, in Irvine, California. BIOphelia grew out of a practice-based research project at Cornell University, where Black along with Associate Professor Jessica Rosenberg (Literatures in English) have expanded their work in the environmental humanities and performance studies through cross-pollinations with Cornell’s Botanic Gardens and the departments of Plant and Soil Science, Ethnobotany, Environment and Sustainability, and Biological and Environmental Engineering.
At this event, experience the beauty and power of BIOphelia and participate in a talk-back with the show’s creators and local collaborators. Herb-infused tea and baked goods inspired by Ophelia’s kitchen-garden will be served. Read more about the event here.
