Free
About the Event:
Join us for an enlightening event featuring two distinguished speakers, Dr. Anders Carlson and Daniela Naomi Molnar, each offering unique perspectives on the intersection of art and science in the context of transitions and migration in the face of climate change.
About the Speakers:
Dr. Anders Carlson fell in love with glaciers as an undergraduate student while conducting research at Matanuska Glacier in Alaska. After receiving his B.A.s in Geology and German from Augustana College, IL, he earned a M.S. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Ph.D. at Oregon State University in glacial geology. Following a postdoc at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, MA, he was a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and then Oregon State University before founding the Oregon Glaciers Institute. Anders has studied glacier-climate change for a quarter century in the United States, Canada, Greenland, Svalbard, Scandinavia, Patagonia and Antarctica.
Daniela Naomi Molnar is an artist, poet, and pigment worker collaborating with the mediums of language, image, paint, pigment, and place. She is also a wilderness guide, educator, and eternal student.
An entry in the Oregon Encyclopedia states, “Molnar pioneered the notion that art can speak to climate change.” Her work is the subject of a front-page feature in the Los Angeles Times, an Oregon Art Beat Profile, and a feature in Poetry Daily.
Her visual work has been shown nationally, is in public and private collections internationally, and has been recognized by numerous grants, fellowships, and residencies. Her book CHORUS is a finalist for the 2024 Oregon Book Award, and was selected by Kazim Ali as the winner of Omnidawn’s 1st/2nd Book Award. Her work will be anthologized in the forthcoming The Ecopoetry Anthology and is anthologized in Breaking the Glass: A Contemporary Jewish Poetry Anthology.
Her next books are PROTOCOLS (Ayin Press, 2025), and Light / Remains (Bored Wolves, 2024). She founded the Art + Ecology program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and helped start and run the backcountry artist residency Signal Fire. A 3G Jew and daughter of immigrants, she is a diasporic student of the earth.
