The Power of Art in Primate Conservation: Honoring the Legacy of Michelle Bezanson
Embedded Files
Art has long played a critical role in fueling conservation movements. Whether through community-driven murals, inspiring social media campaigns, or fundraising auctions, art has the power to unite individuals and drive collective action. Art can speak beyond language and borders to inspire care, compassion, and action to protect the natural world. It can raise awareness and inspire change through visual storytelling, teaching children to empathize with wildlife through conservation education programs, or spreading knowledge via poetry and song. In the field of primate conservation, art can amplify the impact of research, highlighting the beauty of endangered species and catalyze global engagement.

This symposium gallery event invites artists, conservationists, educators, and advocates to explore the diverse ways in which art contributes to primate conservation. It also honors the life and work of Michelle Bezanson, a biological anthropologist whose research focused on primate behavioral ecology and tropical forest ecosystems. Michelle’s beautiful illustrations of primates have featured prominently in scientific publications and educational materials, and her unique ability to blend art with science leaves a lasting legacy in both fields. We invite all those involved in the intersection of art and conservation to contribute art media to this celebration of Michelle’s work and the ongoing role of art in primate conservation efforts.
