Art and Environmental Mobilizing

Sculptor Todd McGrain and filmmaker Andrew Stern created The Lost Bird Project to raise public awareness through art of five bird species that went extinct over the past 150 years. They share a conviction that art can touch us in ways that ideas and intellect alone cannot. At our Speaker Series on October 16^th, Todd and Andy will discuss the role that the arts can play in mobilizing people to address our current environmental crisis. Then on Sunday October 19, GGAS will show their film The Lost Bird Project from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Ed Roberts Campus across from Ashby BART in Berkeley.
