Speaker: Elizabeth Rose

Elizabeth Claire Rose creates work which connects geographically disconnected landscapes focusing on their shared ecologies: how each site is connected through climatic shifts, soil qualities, and habitat range. She has been an artist resident at Mount St. Helens National Monument, WA, USA, Terra Nova National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, and Isle Royale National Park, USA among others.

The Department of Art and Art History invites you to a two-day symposium that asks the question: Can artists make a difference amongst the challenges of climate change, environmental degradation, and human populations? Guest speakers will explore these issues by speaking about their practices and engagement with facets of this topic, followed by a roundtable discussion.
