Art, Extraction and Imagination

Join us as we team up with Art for Nature - Ideas for Our Future as we ask, how can art help us listen to the land—and how might those lessons guide us toward healthier, more fulfilling futures?

Guest artist, photographer and environmental advocate, Shayla Blatchford of the Anti-Uranium Mapping Project guides Santa Fe Community College students to explore the ways we map, remember, and reimagine place.

Using counter-mapping-a hands-on process of layering stories, drawings, and local memory onto maps-students reflect on extraction, resilience, and their own visions for a sustainable future.

This is set in context with experiences from Germany coal and uranium extraction.
