Each Fireside Dialogue is an opportunity for sharing knowledge, stories and wisdom about our regional forests, trees and woodlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Oct. 27 event will feature Dylan Harris, Assistant Professor in the UCCS Department of Geography & Environmental Studies. His work is with the stories we tell (and don’t tell) about climate change, focusing specifically on intersections of climate justice, energy, and ideologies of empire. More specifically, he has done extensive work in communities in Appalachia and Alaska, listening to and telling stories to communities often at the front lines of climate change where it is sometimes difficult to talk about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Black Forest Institute is part of the wide-ranging exhibition The Space(s) Between, and is part of GOCA\u2019s Art WithOut Limits Public Sculpture program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
