In Place: Representing Environmental Racism on Tribal Lands and Communities of Color

Artist Will Wilson and artist-scientist Valerie Rangel in conversation with writer-curator Alicia Inez Guzmán

Featuring artist Will Wilson and artist-scientist Valerie Rangel in conversation with writer-curator Alicia Inez Guzmán, this webinar examines the legacy of extractive industries and resource exploitation in New Mexico. Delving into the implications of such industries and what paths lie ahead for remediation, the panel looks at the role of aesthetics in representing environmental devastation and imagining new futures beyond crisis.

Recorded on February 25, 2021.
