The Lines We Leave: Ecological Restoration in the Modern Southwest

You are invited to a free, public event in collaboration with the Institute for Applied Ecology on April 5th from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at Strata Gallery. This event will be centered around a series of short “lightning talk” presentations from local ecologists, writers, and artists working in and investigating ecological restoration, urban ecology, and our collective relationships to wildness here in New Mexico. These presentations will be in conversation with Margin, the concurrent exhibition from Albuquerque-based artist Max Sorenson which traces both the organic and human-made lines that we find, follow, and help to draw in our home landscapes.

There is no charge for this event. The presentations will begin at 1:30 PM and last about an hour. Please join us at 1:00 PM to learn more about the work of the Institute for Applied Ecology, enjoy a hands-on seed cleaning activity, and engage with Margin prior to the presentations!
