Uprisings for the Earth: Reconnecting Culture with Nature - An evening with artist and author Osprey Oreille Lake
This great green event is over now!
Acclaimed artist/author Osprey Oreille Lake will speak about issues concerning community, cultural transformation and our relationship to the environment addressed in her new book Uprisings for the Earth: Reconnecting Culture with Nature. Book signing will follow. FREE
Osprey is an artist, writer and activist who creates bronze sculptures on nature-themed art. A faculty member of Holy Names University and director of the Women's Earth and Climate Caucus, her work brings a creative angle to our ecological crisis and reimagines the social and natural landscapes of our cities and towns.
Osprey grew up in the Village of Mendocino and will be sharing stories close to home, emphasizing how place and region shape our thinking, our identity and our actions.
This program is being held in conjunction with the Grace Hudson Museum's current exhibit, 'Look at Who We Are: Stories of Home,' (March 19 - June 19, 2011) a multimedia exploration of the Ukiah Valley's rich past. Visitors can view the exhibit and apply Osprey's thoughts on the influence of place to the very spot where they are standing.
For more information about the exhibit, see website linked above.

'There are places we make - a room we bring a vase of flowers and a new rug to, a hut or house we hand-build - and there are places that make us: the creek that flows down our street and waters our flowers, the rugged hills that trap fog and shape our weather. In fact, this process is ongoing and interconnected: the place we live makes us, even as we remake it. The more we can be aware of this intricate and wondrous feedback mechanism, the better we can respond to our place, and the more it will come alive for us.'
