Dunedin Fine Art Center
February 22, 10:00 – 11:30 am
Join DFAC in conversation with Rachel Simmons, celebrated artist and Rollins College professor, and hear her speak about her engaging projects. “The Language of Watching” is a project informed by the artist’s research into the social/political ramifications of bird representations in field guides, the history and culture of birdwatching, and the relationships between birdwatchers and birds, and more broadly speaking, between humans and the natural environment. FLOCK, a socially engaged art project, has evolved since 2015 to include over 200 community participants across the US. Click here to learn more about this and other DFAC events.
