About this Event

Join us on Friday, January 16 at the David Brower Center in Downtown Berkeley for an evening with photographer Barbara Boissevain and Nicole Ardoin, Associate Professor of Environmental Social Sciences and Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment. Together, they will explore how art and environmental science intersect to inspire meaningful shifts in human behavior.

The conversation will focus on Barbara’s book Salt of the Earth, which documents the ongoing restoration of the South San Francisco Bay as former industrial salt ponds are transformed into thriving wetlands. Enjoy the accompanying exhibition in the gallery and learn how powerful visual storytelling can inspire people to feel more connected to the landscapes around them.
