Join the Sheldon Museum for an evening of community, conversation, reflection and creativity!

The evening will open with a conversation between environmental writers Megan Mayhew Bergman and Jon Mingle, poet Cindy Hill and photographer Caleb Kenna , moderated by writer and educator Liza Cochran, about the role of the arts and humanities in shaping our connection to the climate crisis. The second hour will engage participants in what poet Jane Hirshfield calls finding "simple astonishment," and the curative power of creating art as we face the crisis of our lifetime. In small groups, participants will be guided through a close observation and reflection in response to selected images from the Sheldon's archives and modern images from photographer Caleb Kenna.

Free and open to all. Sponsored by Vermont Humanities, as part of the 50 Forward series!
