Rooted in Resilience: Exhibit Featuring Local Artists
Exploring our environmental health through art + science!
Themes: Environmental Health - Hope Healing - Community Strength
This exhibit highlights work that honors and accounts for the unique vulnerabilities and resiliencies of those living in central Arizona. In 2021, the Telegraph Fire and post-fire flash floods raised concerns about environmental health in local community. The University of Arizona's Rethinking Wildfires, Floods, and Health project worked with residents to collect and test over 600 soil and dust samples from homes and local sites at different depths. We also created the Cobre Valley Community Environmental Advisory Board to guide this work and how to share results. This exhibit will showcase youth Photovoice, environmental monitoring data, and local artwork and environmental health perspectives!
