Save your spot to sip, mingle, and meet the artists of Art/Act: Local—This Land. Join us at the David Brower Center for a DJ-backed evening of provocative discussion with our 4 jury-selected artists. Alicia Escott, Dominick Porras, Nicole Irene Anderson, and Sherry Xiang reveal new insights into their inspirations and processes. Author of the call, José González, will be moderating the discussion.

In Uncharted Waters, Ann Holsberry's large silk cyanotype prints of sea kelp and their predators will be hung in the two-story public atrium of the David Brower Center to create an immersive underwater environment, to evoke the beauty and fragility of nearshore ecosystems, and to inspire their protection.

On June 23, Ann will participate in a panel discussion with members of the Above/Below Project, a group of women artists, scientists, strategists and ocean advocates whose aim is to raise awareness of ocean stewardship. She will also be teaching a nature-based cyanotype workshop in partnership with Youth Spirit Artworks to advance art opportunities for underserved youth. Funded by a Berkeley Civic Arts Grant.

The David Brower Center & Ann Holsberry invite you to an evening where art meets science! Artist Ann Holsberry will describe her collaborative process with nature, through the use of cyanotype—a cameraless photographic printing process. She will be joined by other members of the Above/Below community: Curator of Algae, University Herbarium, UC Berkeley, Dr. Kathy Ann Miller, and photographer, author, and designer Josie Iselin.

Join us for the closing event of Art/Act: Local–This Land featuring a performance by Andreína Esther Maldonado Sosa.
