Living Artfully on a Damaged Planet
The planet is changing rapidly. Whether you call it the Anthropocene or the sixth great extinction, learning to live artfully on a damaged planet requires a collective reimagining that inspires new ways of seeing and responding. In this precarious moment, who better than image-makers to answer this call and take our place in the ever-widening circles of creative communities and collectives. Susan Patrice, the co-founder of the Six Feet photography project and the Kinship Photography Collective, will be sharing insights and practical tools for creating sustainable online photography communities that inspire courageous practice and awaken generous sharing. Together we will be exploring the unique roles that photography can play at this crucial moment in history and the power of online communities to inspire honest and vulnerable work.
