In this virtual talk, artist Liz Harvey will discuss her exhibition, the lost ones: iterations and murmurs, and her work that engages with stitching as a way to deal with the bittersweet, particularly around climate disruption during the Anthropocene– the time during which humans have had a substantial impact on our planet. She’ll share how disorientation and embroidery come together as strategies to "queer" our relationship to nature. Using dance and textiles, her work often makes use of what she calls time-traveling to engage with overlooked stories as well as to envision futures centering liberation. the lost ones invited participants to embroider critically endangered flowers and plants on a garment worn by a performer in multiple outdoor performances in order to help viewers navigate yearning and melancholy.
