CREATIVE RECONNECTION IN THE ANTHROPOCENE
Artists are trained in systems thinking, pattern recognition, and creative problem solving. Calling on these skills, visual artists are adopting strategies of interdisciplinary research and collaboration in diverse aquatic environments. These projects vary widely, from interpretive artworks to restoring ecosystems and engaging youth. This presentation highlights two case studies. Illustrating an interpretive approach, Ann Rosenthal and Steffi Domike developed River Vernacular, an art installation inspired by the Hudson River Museum’s historic postcard collection. The artists re-photographed selected postcard locations and soaked cloth in the Saw Mill River to map the social and natural histories of Yonkers, New York. Turning to youth and families, Rosenthal initiated LUNA (Learning Urban Nature through Art) which provides community-centric ecoliteracy and art programming. Such projects pose wicked questions: How are our histories and cultural assumptions undermining the sustainability of life on earth? How can we foster a more ethical and empathic relationship to non-human others? In the face of the Anthropocene, projects that transcend disciplinary silos and binary thinking offer a moment of deep insight, a perceptual shift, that can reveal the inextricable connections between nature and culture to revitalize individuals and communities.
