An exhibition by Canadian artist collective, Fire Season, of works from their biennial publication, of the same name - an edited journal of written and visual sense-making on the topic of wildfires. The exhibition featured poetry, visual art, photography, and video installation from contributors to the Fire Season publication and archival wildfire materials from the BC Forest Discovery Centre to offer an inclusive look at how wildfire continues to impact British Columbia in a kaleidoscope of cultural, political, industrial, and ecological ways.
I designed a wall-mounted loom and interpretation that enabled visitors to express their ecological grief, led the exhibition installation, created all promotional materials and managed press relations, coordinated exhibition programming, and coached the visitor engagement team on how to discuss this sensitive topic with visitors.
