FOR THE FUTURE 2021
High School Park in Elkins Park, PA
May 1 - May 21, 2021
FOR THE FUTURE is an installation of 50 cyanotype flags created in 2020 with the support of the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education for the exhibition entitled ECOTACTICAL: Earth Day at 50. This installation highlights the various aspects of the environmental movement represented with the flag messages that I studied while writing my MFA thesis. The pictures below link to more information about the groupings of the flags. (under construction)
The history of Earth Day is deeply entwined with the practice of activism. From the first Environmental Teach-In on April 22, 1970 to the more recent Global Climate Strike, from Indigenous communities on the frontlines of resource extraction to those fighting everyday for climate justice, concerned people have been expressing their voices… often in words on hand-made signs. These hand-made signs inspire the messages on the flags of For The Future and the flags stand in solidarity with the people who are fighting for an environmentally just future.
